Answer:
The main theme of the poem 'The pig' is about finding the meaning of life which is followed by another vital theme, 'the power of fate.'
Step-by-step explanation:
‘The Pig’ is a poem written by Roald Dahl which is about a clever pig. The main theme of this poem is life’s meaning and the power of faith.
As the poem begins, the pig gets to known that the meaning of his life is to become someone’s meal. The lines “They want my bacon slice by slice
“To sell at a tremendous price!
“They want my tender juicy chops
“To put in all the butchers’ shops! Indicates how the pig is very well aware of him becoming someone’s meal.
But he didn’t let this happen. And this gives rise to another important theme, the power of fate, where the pig eats the farmer from top to toe.
