The theme of this story may be somewhere in the lines of "live your life to the fullest, don't waste any opportunities".

Wharton uses irony to express and convey this idea of living life and being free. For example, the writer mentions that the woman in the story hadn't had the chance of people envying her wedding presents (while her husband was very sick and in bed rest) This meant that she was more worried about living her life and people knowing she was a newlywed than her husband actually dying.

The story describes how this woman felt life hadn't been fair with her and she only wanted to live life up to its fullest, regardless of her surroundings and what was happening to her.

Read the excerpt from Anthem. Here, on this mountain, I and my sons and my chosen friends shall build our new land and our fort.
Nadusha1986 [10]

The imagery of "the heart" suggests that the relationship between the society the narrator plans to build and the outside world will be the following: membership for the new society on the mountain will be open to anyone.

In chapter twelve of Anthem, which is the chapter from which the excerpt was extracted, Equality 7-2521 and the Golden One decide that they will launch a new race in the abandoned house they found from the Unmentionable Times. This new race that they vow to create will accept individualism, and they intend to make it the heart of the earth, i.e., <em>the central piece of the planet, </em>the core that will keep life flowing for humanity (much like a heart keeps the body alive by pumping blood). A humanity that believes in individualism, the word "I", and the supremacy of the ego.

Rudik [331]
The excerpt above is from "The Perks of Being a Wallflower". The lines are written in sharp honesty and vulnerability. If it is written in an ironic tone, it means that the narrator is not satisfied with his life. Theme of the story would become different because if would lose the sincere type of narration of the boy who is coming of age.
