Read the excerpt below from the short story “The Bet” by Anton P. Chekov and answer the question that follows. “And I despise your books, despise all worldly blessings and wisdom. Everything is void, frail, visionary and delusive as a mirage. Though you be proud and wise and beautiful, yet will death wipe you from the face of the earth like the mice underground; and your posterity, your history, and the immortality of your men of genius will be as frozen slag, burnt down together with the terrestrial globe. . . .” Which theme does the diction from the passage support best?

The mortality of life has been defined and referred to with this passage, as it directly suggests that there is no reason to expect that one can take in his afterlife whatever he has got from the mortal world of men.

The wisdom she has acquired, the beauty she has got, or her genius, is only limited to the world of mortal that gets evaporated like anything in after life.
