=======================================================

Any particular short stories? For example, A theme in
Fitzgerald's "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" is betrayal
by "friends". (But the elucidation of theme seems a rather
empty pursuit. I'd concentrate instead on the steps of the
main character's story, and changes in that character as the
story progresses.)
