<h3 /><h3>What is the theme of The Phantom Rickshaw?</h3>
The theme of the above story is one that speaks to Betrayal.
The narrator, Jack, had an affair with Mrs. Agnes Keith-Wessington at Simla, but later dumped her and got engaged to Miss Kitty Mannering.
Mrs. Wessington, however, keeps popping up in Jack's life, pleading with him to change his mind and saying that everything was an error.
But Jack continues to shun her and doesn't want anything to do with her. Mrs. Wessington eventually passes away, much to Jack's relief.
But later on, he notices her old rickshaw and believes it has been purchased.
The rickshaw and the men hauling it suddenly pass through a horse, shocking him by exposing themselves to be ghosts carrying Mrs. Wessington's deceased spirit.
This causes Jack to become more unpredictable, which he attempts to hide by making up increasingly complex stories to allay Kitty's concerns.
