Because is the opposite of macabre. It is smooth.

We need a word that hunts him like a ghost.

Hope this helps

This is a bad question, also bad grammar and punctuation.

how about "disparity" for the last blank? I think it fits well with the context

Hi Hecom,

disparity means inequality; for instance: inequality from different social classes in the same country.

Here the fit word is ambiguity: Polansky was at the same time a victim and an Executioner. This ambiguity leads the Vulgus to forgive him something.

Hope this helps
