Thematic Analysis: The Interlopers and Romeo and Juliet

There is a common theme in both of the stories “The interloper”s and “Romeo and Juliet”. They are that they both have a rivalry like in “The Interlopers” they had a rivalry for whose land it is. The common interest in “Romeo and Juliet” is that there is a rivalry of who is more powerful between the families of “Romeo and Juliet.” First I am going to talk about the similarities that the story “Romeo and Juliet” have in common. The common interest in this story and “The Interlopers” is that they both where fighting for something and that something was who is more dominant. But at the end they all become friends. Like in the story of “romeo and Juliet” they all happily became friend because the main characters both died lying right next to eachother. The reason they became friends is because they got stuck under the tree during a winter thunderstorm. That is when one of the men offered the other one some wine to keep warm and he said no but after awhile they decided that whoever’s group of people got there first they whould let the other one out first. But at the end they got killed by a pack of wolves that they thought were the one guys men till they got close. I think that these two topics have a lot in common with each other because they both die, that is how their families stop hating each other but in “the interlopers” it is not from poison it is from a pack of wolves. That got to them before their men could. the two lines were “ Put this in any liquid thing you will And drink it off; and, if you had the strength Of twenty men, it would dispatch you straight” (5.2.80-83) and “Who are they?" asked Georg quickly, straining his eyes to see what the other would gladly not have seen Wolves”(Saki.36).
