A Night In Question "The Night in Question" There are a variety of themes to Tobias Wolff’s "The Night in Question" that need to be considered in order to understand what the story is truly about. One of the main themes that we need to look at is unselfishness. Throughout the story, Wolff shows a great deal of family bonding and connections. We look at whether it is a good connection between Frank and Frances or a bad bond between Frank and his father. The story also displays a great deal of religious devotion along with testing your faith. We learn in Frank’s story that the main character, Mike, is faced with a decision that he has to make that will affect his life as long as he lives. Mike is faced with the decision of saving his son’s life or sparing the lives of the people on the train that he doesn’t even know and probably will never meet. How can he give up his own son’s life when he knows that his son isn’t guilty of anything, and maybe the people of the train are guilty' This shows how unselfish one can be by Mike’s being frank, story, frances, son, mike, own, knows, father, doesn’t, shows, people, life, know, even, decision, because, always, about, train, telling, right, god, can’t, alone, think, one, isn’t, family, done, unselfishness, senior, says, save, said, religion
