The Theme of the story:
The writer of the story conveys that there comes a time in a man’s life when it is required for him to lift from petty considerations of race, nationality and act in human consideration.
Dr. Sadao being patriotic Japanese hates Americans as his enemies. One day a prisoner of war appears at the shore near Dr. Sadao’s house wounded and Dr. Sadao and his wife Hana move over their feelings of hatred towards him and they treat him until he is capable of taking care of himself. Not only they treat him but dr. Sadao also helps him escape. He arranges all the things that are required for him to escape. By this humble and kind act, the theme of the story stands clear that humanity should rise above all.
Through the story, the writer also shows the impact of war on the life of normal people and she does so by presenting an American wounded soldier who has to face the fury of the weather and the hostility of the Japanese people.
