The Convergence of Twain- Central Theme

The central theme to this poem is God punishes for a reason, in this intense, vanity. The passengers of the titanic represent greed, and pride. They never thought that there lives were in danger, because they never met a problem that they could not buy. This is the precise reason that they were on this exact ship, because it was too "unsinkable" and expensive to ever be dangerous. Just as they thought that their money could buy them "eternal" life, they praised their possession over all else, their satis symbol to all of society. These people claimed to be God worshiping even though their true god was their wealth. This Coupled with the earlier suggested pride, as feeling though they could buy death, God became very angry. The titanic was not filled with merely innocent bistanders but potentially poisonous to the world and therefore had to be removed from their high positions.
