Here we see the motive behind the rage and jealousy that the children felt for Margot. And they, they had been on Venus all their lives, and they had been only two years old when last the sun came out and had long since forgotten the color and heat of it and the way it really was. William is the antagonist who suggests that they lock her up because.the biggest crime of all was that she had come here only five years ago from Earth, and she remembered the sun and the way the sun was and the sky was when she was four in Ohio. The children wouldn’t have locked Margot in the closet at that very special moment when the sun came out if it had not been for William. Margot had known what the sun looked and felt like when she lived on Earth but, the children of Venus who get to see the sun for two hours once every seven years could not relate to her experience. Kids, and people alike, can be so mean when they are confronted with so pie one different than their current understanding or when they are jealous. The theme for “All Summer in a Day” is bullying and jealousy.
