It is clear that Clyde is having an identity crisis. This is a secondary theme running throughout the short story. Despite this, he is accepted back into the lemon grove/Eden by Magreb. Clyde wishes to drink her blood and refrains for most part but ultimately his blood lust takes over and he ends up killing her. However, Fila can be compared to the apple, the temptation of the garden. For example, the lemon grove that Clyde loves so dearly can be compared to the Garden of Eden – a wonderful place where he feels in tune with himself and which he does not wish to ever leave. Temptation is perhaps the most prominent theme throughout the book and appears at multiple points through Clyde in particular.
