In the story of "The Bad Seed," Rhoda Penmark ultimately dies by drowning. Her mother, Christine, discovers that Rhoda is responsible for the deaths of several people, including her classmate, and struggles with the implications of Rhoda's actions. In a desperate attempt to prevent Rhoda from continuing her malevolent behavior, Christine decides to take her own life along with Rhoda, leading to the tragic drowning incident. This ending emphasizes the themes of nature versus nurture and the darkness that can exist within seemingly innocent children.
