Answer 2

Answer:

The theme of the story 'The Bet' is corruption, idealism, and greed.

Explanation:

• At a party, several individuals, are having a conversation about the death sentence and whether it is "immoral, and unfit for the Christian States.
• "However, some of the visitors assert that the death sentence is "more moral and more humanitarian than life in prison."
• Since the lawyer hasn't committed any crimes, at least as far as the readers are aware, his situation is difficult in terms of crime and punishment.
• The banker cautions him that voluntary incarceration will be more difficult to bear than mandatory detention since his voluntary imprisonment is less about punishment and more about making a statement.
• A criminal can't give up and go, therefore incarceration may serve a greater purpose of atonement.
• However, the ultimate reward for the lawyer is financial gain rather than redemption.
• His situation involves sacrifice and reward rather than crime and punishment.
• This raises the question of whether the wager can be used to determine whether the death sentence or life in prison is more humanitarian because the stakes and situation are so dissimilar.
