This story is about how a father pays and pays for his son to
be important and noticed, but in the end the son died and that was it. It
creates a creeping mood of life being meaningless. He seems to love his son and
spends so much money, but after all that, no amount of money can save someone
you love. The authors theme is: life is horrible and horrible things happen. “Thord
could scarcely believe it” In the story, everything was going well, but
suddenly his son dies and that’s that. The priest couldn’t even recognize him,
a year from his son’s death. His life was so unselfish, and still he had bad
things happen. Sorrow filled this great man’s life. He loved his son, but even
that couldn’t save him from a random boating accident.
