what's the theme of The Horse Dealer's Daughter?

Answer 1

The girl want's someone to take as good care of her as she does her mothers grave you see this by the way she makes it a point to clean the tombstone. Her brothers don't care about her they treat her like trash and so she tries to kill herself when the man saves her he is her salvation and thats why she seems so needy. All she wants is to be and feel love.
