the themes in The Star Beast are, human hypocrisy, pride and cowardice.
Explanation:
hypocrisy: priests should advocate peace and forgiveness, however, the priest in the star Beast treated the beast ruthlessly when it says formulas have nothing to do with religion.
pride: humans don't want to be seen as at the same level as the beast. they think it's just a beast because of its appearance.
cowardice: the humans act cowardly, trying to deceive themselves into thinking that nothing can be superior to humans as they are animals of the highest wisdom and intelligence.
