The theme of nature being unforgiving is developed in the story through multiple events. Amalia's anger at Serafin for going into the river highlights the danger and consequences of being in the water. Step's need for help to rescue Tobe from the river shows the power and force of nature, as well as the importance of community support in times of crisis. Additionally, the fact that Serafin's brother had drowned in the same river years before Tobe's incident emphasizes the unforgiving and dangerous nature of the river. Despite Tobe's life being saved after falling into the river, the overall message of the story underscores the power and unpredictability of nature.
