  • Top-left: Wealth worship. The landlord is so impressed and intimidated by the bank note that he barely dares to take it.
  • Middle-left: Impending doom. You can tell that the narrator is experiencing a sense of upcoming catastrophe through phrases like "I judged that there as going to be a crash." The situation the narrator is in also involves danger: "I must swim across or drown."
  • Top-right: Rags to riches. Taken literally, this expression means going from the poorest to the wealthiest one possibly can be. But in this context, it is more about 'social riches:' the character goes from being insignificant in the eyes of others, to widely influential.
  • Middle-right: Wealth worship. The landlord is willing to accept any of the narrator's whims simply because he is wealthy, but at the same time, he fears him and his power: "he hoped he wasn't afraid to trust as rich a gentleman as I was."
  • Bottom: Impending doom. The threatening danger here is expressed by the fact that a "thin crust" is all that keeps the narrator from falling into the crater.

The themes proposed by Twain in the context of the text "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" would be as follows:

- "...he shrank...handle" - Wealth Worship

- "I judged...drown" - Impending Doom

- "Well...everywhere" -  Rags to riches

- "He said...matter of dress" - Wealth worship

- "It scared me...underneath" - Impending Doom

  • The excerpts that have been taken from the text display the given themes as mentioned above.
  • The first and third excerpts "...he shrank...handle" and "He said...matter of dress" display the central idea of veneration of wealth when the note is considered sacred.
  • In the next excerpts "I judged...drown" and "It scared me...underneath" that the idea of imminent faith cannot be escaped.
  • The idea of rags to wealth in order to display the journey of the character from the poorest state to the state of extreme wealth and success.
