The main theme in the full story of 'A Day's Wait' by Ernest Hemingway is the exploration of a child's perception of death and the resulting psychological state. The boy, having heard that a normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees, and not realizing that the thermometer in use is in Celsius (where his temperature of 37.5 degrees is normal), believes he is going to die. This misunderstanding leads to his long day of waiting for death. It shows how misinformation can create a great deal of unnecessary fear and how a young mind copes with such a terrifying prospect. Hemingway also delves into the relationship between the boy and his father, as the father is somewhat oblivious to the boy's inner turmoil at first, highlighting the generational and communication gaps that can exist.
The main theme is the boy's misunderstanding of his illness and his brave endurance. He thought he was going to die because he misinterpreted the difference between Fahrenheit and Celsius in terms of body temperature.
