RispondiEliminaThe plot of this book rounds around the jealousy. This strong feeling is the main theme of a lot of books beacuse is an eternal feeling and every human feels it, so it makes the reading of the book more pleasant. Also death is a theme of this book, in fact the jealousy cause Al's death by the side of his sister. So "Death in the freezer" teachs us that when feelings become passions are dangerous for us, as also William Shakespeare says. Moreover it’s quite easy to read.
