Theme

The theme consists that of a sad but hopeful tone, which only seems to be crushed in the end until the very last bit of the story takes place. Everytime Fled, the protagonist, has a main hope for something, it always turns out bitter in the end. Soon, he takes too much stress and nearly suffers a fatal heart-attack. Though all hope seems lost, as the dialogue and the text in the book just despress the reader further, Fled's hope is back in the end as Sobel is with him once more, and things become into an uprising again.
