The theme is the main idea in which why the author may have chosen to write the story. Although there is more than one theme present, there is one theme that is eminent compared to other additional themes. The theme that Thompson portrayed was that the people who are closest to one and one interacts with the most has an increased chance to betray one at one's weakest points. One of the ways Thompson chose to expose the theme is through a large amount of conflict. The mother of Roy Dillon, Lilly Dillon, was an immense part of the conflict. Lilly Dillon was never much of a mother to Roy Dillon, Lilly would act as a ¨selfish older sister¨ which Roy despised (11). Thompson, early on, made the choice to set the relationship of the mother and the son early on so the reader could get an idea of what to expect from the mother. The main theme, betrayal, is later exposed in the story when the conflict of Roy and Lilly ends abruptly. ¨Her son had been killed¨ by his own mother, Lilly, which ended the conflict (200). Although, his mother had been very amiable in the beginning, in the end he is unfortunately betrayed which is the main exposure of the theme.
