Going through the story"The life you save May Be Your Own"we distinguish quite easily the focus on the attempts of two equally unscrupulous characters to gain advantage over the other.Through the use of colour imagery and somehow obvious symbolism manages to make this story more than just humorous.The symbolism in this story illustrates tje spiritual struggles between good and evil that we as humans face.
In my opinion in this"gothic humor"story I see two unsavory characters using each other.Mr shifted wants the car,and Lucynell's mother wants to get rid of her deaf mute doughter in a "clean"ways.In the end they get what they want.
While the doughter is left dozing in some diner,unable to communicate miles from home.
The ironic tone all through this story is both,humorous and painfull too.While Mr.Shifted mouths prayers his behaviour is totally selfish.
