I suggest that in this short story character is more important than theme. However, Bamabara does suggest by the end of the story that education will be Harriet's salvation: Harriet plans to ask her teacher how she can deal with her "romantic" heart.

By the way, did you notice the several times that Harriet says, "I'm not going to lie about it," taking some pride in her strength and honesty? Yet when her mother asks her why her behavior has changed, she does lie. Thus the counselor's cruelty has wounded Harriet, but hopefully with the teacher's aid, Harriet will regain her strength of character.

Simply put, education is the cure for misunderstanding and the tool for growth ans strength.

What is panchabyadhi?

I'm guessing you mean tachy-brady which is short for tachycardia (fast heart rates) and bradycardia (slow heart rates). It is a condition where the heart goes back and forth between too fast and too slow (so not one medicine or combination can treat both). It is usually treated with a pacemaker to support the heart when going too slow and then a medicine to control the fast heart rates.
