The thematic meaning for short story "The Leaving" is mystery. We are exposed to mystery though out the whole story. The first exposure is the physical leaving. The young child of Elizabeth is unsure why her and her mother are leaving the farm house. We also see it through the story her mother reads called "The Feminine Mystique". Her daughter is dumbfounded at the fact that her mother has actually read a book when she has never saw her read before in her life. Elizabeth states " She was a real troublin' book. But she was good." Her daughter asks her why was it so good if it was that troublin'? And Elizabeth simply replies " Found I weren't alone." We are never really given answers through out this whole book. We know just as much as Elizabeths little girl knows and the author purposely does this for debatable purposes. Theirs exposure to the thematic meaning through the circular structure as well because in the end of the story she constantly refers to the time her and her mother left to try to get the understandinf of why they left.
