Although the characters in the story came from diverse backgrounds, they all accepted and embraced each other's personality differences. Tahr, for instance, found a unique way to communicate with the yeh-teh and formed a friendship with Paris, despite her restless nature and past betrayal. Likewise, Paris discovered that there were good people in the world who differed from his Uncle Franklin and his group. Despite their significant cultural disparities, they became loyal friends who saved each other's lives on multiple occasions. The yeh-teh played a vital role in rescuing Tahr from rebels and the guard at Franklin's camp.
Paris also helped in the escape of the yeh-teh from the camp. The violence that Darwa experienced and was portrayed in his life led to him losing his family. Growing up in a violent setting and witnessing numerous killings, he devel
...oped bitterness and contempt for human life, which made him resort to violence. In contrast, Tahr received love and affection from Shengo and was taught how to live peacefully. Consequently, he transformed into a peaceful and non-violent person.
Geng-sun Geng-sun faced the loss of her mother from violence and had to defend herself from different rebel groups. These rebels would resort to violence when it was necessary to protect their friends. Franklin's infatuation with luxury items, such as bringing expensive materials into the jungle and dressing formally for dinner, reflects the idea of madness. Additionally, his desire for uniqueness is demonstrated by teaching Paris to imitate him.
Franklin’s obsession with capturing the yeh-teh and rare creatures was explained to Paris by Renaud. His madness was evident after breaking free from the ic
control during the rebels' massacre. The Ultimate Diner’s Club was also consumed by madness, organizing formal dinners in the jungle with exotic chefs, expensive ingredients, and delicate crockery. Tahr once remarked on the strange hunger of white people.
Life is depicted as a wheel or a circle in the novel "Life on the Edge" by Shengo. Tahr realizes that every aspect of life is precarious, with the potential for sudden and drastic change. All the characters in the novel experience this uncertainty. Shengo dies unexpectedly, Tahr loses his master and enters a new world where he makes new friends and becomes independent. Paris also undergoes transformation, making new friends and learning to improve herself while in their company.
She discovered that she was different from Uncle Franklin and became self-reliant, unaffected by his influence. Geng-sun endured losing her mother, forming and preserving new friendships, gaining independence, and possibly sacrificing herself for her loyal friends. Franklin's life turned precarious, leading to the loss of his friends, sanity, his niece's respect, and ultimately his own life. Likewise, all the members of the Ultimate Diner's Club lived on the edge, resulting in their deaths.
