Culture clash is the central theme of “A Horse and Two Goats.” Two men from different cultural backgrounds meet and are unable to understand each other’s way of life. Muni is uneducated, rural, and Indian, while the American is affluent, urban, and learned. The gentlemen get along with one other even though they don’t speak the same tongue. Unlike in many stories with culture clash as a theme, “A Horse and Two Goats” does not portray any real harm. However, confusion emanating from the culture clash in this text is quite apparent. For instance, each man speaks about his personal life without any idea that their counterpart is unaware of what they are saying.
Another significant theme in Narayan’s work is wealth and poverty. From the beginning of the story, Muni is depicted as a poor ordinary Indian citizen. Muni was progressive during his heydays, but his wealth was still nothing compared to that of most Americans. In the story, the American offers a cigarette to Muni, a man who has never set eyes on one. He also talks about how he enjoys manual work on Sundays with no idea that Muni grew up working in fields. The author does not purport to condemn the American’s wealth. Rather, Narayan intention is to make the relationship between affluence and worth clear to the reader.
Further, knowledge versus ignorance is an essential theme in “A Horse and Two Goats.” There is a clear discrepancy between the Indian (Muni) and the American regarding exposure. Muni has neither received formal education nor gone beyond the villages. In contrast, the American has been privileged enough to receive education and greatly values it. He has a room full of reading materials (as he illustrates when he says, “you know I love books and am a member of five book clubs, and the choice and bonus volumes mount up to a pile in our living room”). The American has also traveled around the world, unlike Muni.
