The main theme for The Jade Bracelet is LOVE. It can be seen from the character of Mrs. Wong. She really loves her sick mother that she will to be with her at her dying time until she dies. She treats her nicely. We can see that she prepares the breakfast broth for her mother on her own. Besides that, she discards the chopsticks to pick her mother's bone because she declares her mother is perfectly clean. This clearly shows that she loves her mother very much.
The short story Lamb to the Slaughter also shares the same theme. Mary Maloney loves her husband very much that she dares to kill him. she uses the frozen lamb leg's and hit it at her husband's back of head. She did that because she didn't want her husband to leave her.
