In this story there are three men at a ar drinking and gabling meanwhile there is a funeral out side. When they go out side to take a sneek peek they meet with a strage man that showed them the way to "eternal life" and where death was. When the thee men arrive there what they find bars of gold. Meanwhile one of them goes out the two that stayed planed to kill him so they could stay with the gold. In this scene there is a lot of ambition and hipocracy; it shows the limit that people can reach when there is a fortune in the way. But, when the man returned he poisone the two mens food so he stayed with all the gold.
This showed that everyone most of the time try to reach power and people even risk friendships to obtain what they want. Hypocracy is a main theme here because it is what the three friends do to each other. Ambition is another tipic because the three men wanted more and more. Didn`t they thought before of the consecuences of their actions?
This reaminds me of the empire of Alexander The Great because he wanted more and more power. It came to a limit that his own friends got tired of him and there was a rumor that he was poisoned by his friends because they could not take any more the struggle and battles that Alexander had put them through. Here we can see that there is hipocracy or back stabbing and also the ambition that Alexander had for more power.
