- Freedom and Confinement
- The contrast between freedom and confinement is extreme, . Most of the story takes
place in a vast and incredibly foul-smelling underground graveyard. Freedom becomes
less and less of a possibility as the characters move into smaller and smaller crypts while
on the other hand, confinement makes both the readers and the characters appreciate
the deliciousness of fresh air.

many other drugs circulating between the lines. “Drugs,” in this story, can be anything the
characters want badly enough to do awful or foolish things for.
