We all had different analyses of this story. But the main theme that we could all agree on, was that you can’t escape your fate. Once it’s set in motion, there isn't much that you can do once your time comes. We chose this theme because of the events that played out in the story. The servant ran from death because that’s how he thought he was going to live and cheat death, but he ended up running straight to it! The servant,”...mounted it (the horse), and dug his spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went.”
