In "The Interlopers," the theme is based on a feud between
two families. The feud is based on an argument over a strip of forestland. The hatred
that has developed because of this feud has become quite serious, with both Ulrich von
Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym having murderous thoughts:
Ulrich and Georg are enemies who have brought a
family feud over a piece of forestland to a murderous
point.
Through the years, the
feud has only grown stronger. The theme is based on the hatred or enmity that Ulrich and
Georg have one for the other. These two men have allowed their hatred to culminate to a
point which now involves serious, dangerous actions. The two enemies are in the woods
waiting for the other one to run into the other. With guns in hand, the two men look at
each other with murderous thoughts:
The two men face each other with rifles in hand,
but neither can bring himself to shoot the other. Before either man can act, a bolt of
lighting strikes a tree. It falls over and pins them underneath its
limbs.
While pinned beneath
the tree, having time to think about their actions, the theme changes to one of
understanding. The two enemies decide to put their differences aside. Now that the feud
is over, there is only one thing with which to worry--a pack of wolves is heading in
their direction.
