The themes in the story of Achilles' heel are fairly simple. One is that we all have a weakness, no one is perfect, not even Achilles who was a great warrior. Pride leading to your downfall could be another, since Achilles was so proud of his fighting abilities that he neglected to protect his heel. I would also say that fate, or the will of the Gods, would be another theme. Achilles' mother knew he would die in battle, so she dipped him in the river Styx to make him invulnerable. But she held him by the heel so it never was fully dipped. Even trying to protect her son could not change his destiny.
