 Kim, by Rudyard Kipling, by Ian Mackean
To examine the themes in the novel we should approach it as an adventure story probably aimed primarily at adolescent boys, in which Kim is seeking to find his place in the country in which he was born, while at the same time struggling to find, or create, an identity for himself.
He is dismayed to find that not only had he been motivated by pride as he climbed the mountains, but also that he reacted with rage, even a wish to see his attacker killed, during the fight.
Thus at the climax Kim's first battle with the enemies of the Empire coincides with the lama's final battle with himself.
