The central theme of this novel is indicated through the principal characters of Waldo and Arthur. Although they seem locked together in constant conflict, what is key to realise abotut them is that they are used to symbolically represent the two opposing halves that make up the self that lies with all of us. White seems to be arguing that we all need both parts within us, but kept in some kind of balance. Ideas of wholeness and twinhood, together with issues such as communication and profound links between humans is therefore something that is a significant part of this novel.
