Thirst is written in the 3rd person Omniscient point of view, this P.O.V is used so the audience can see different character's thoughts of the brutality regarding a prisoner being held without food or water.
This story is about a powerful leader of an outlaw clan being caught by a commander. He is suffering from infection and he smells of rotting flesh. The commander is a dynamic character situated between a loving husband who wants to go home to his wife and a stern leader who kills his enemies without guilt. The commander's wife feels tremendous sorrow and pity when she hears the outlaw begging a guard outside her bedroom for a simple drink of water. During the night the wife cannot sleep because of the prisoner but her husband is sleeping soundly. The wife is a round character.
Imagery is used in the writing when the narrator describes the awful smell coming from the outlaw's wound. Imagery is also used when the wife hears the sounds of the outlaw begging for water and the different ways the outlaw tries to get sympathy for his situation.
Conflict in this story centers around the commander and the outlaw, also the commander and his wife.
