        <description><![CDATA[In my opinion, it does. Towards the end of the story, you'll see the city stamp that says "lead me not into temptation" and it was changed to "lead me into temptation." I don't know if this has helped in any way.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[One theme is that everybody is vulnerable to corruption. Another statement could be that true virtue does not depend on one's reputation but upon one's inner integrity - choosing to do what is right even when &quot;nobody is looking.&quot; (And if that be the case, is anybody left to do the head count?)]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Enotes provides a wonderful link to themes, which I have included below, but I will address your question briefly to get you started.The most powerful theme in Twain's story - as in many of his stories - is hypocrisy.  The town swears to be &quot;morally upright and unfailingly honest&quot;.  However, as soon as the gold arrives, suspicion and fear dominant.  If everyone is so holy, why would there be suspicion?  Also, the town is known to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[On the surface, the people in the&nbsp;town represent a greedy, selfish American society in the 1890s. The conflict is the struggle between individual self-interests and the&nbsp;society in which he lives.&nbsp;The themes of the story tell us how Twain viewed society at the time. The outward appearances of the townspeople belie the reality of their lives. Their lies, vanity, and selfishness hurt others. Hypocrisy and deceit&nbsp;are the town's...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There is a summary here: http://www.enotes.com/man-corrupted
but basically, An omniscient narrator opens the story with a description of Hadleyburg, U.S.A., as "honest," "upright," and very proud of its "unsmirched" reputation. The town enjoys national renown for protecting every citizen against all temptation from infancy through death. Appropriately, the town motto reads "Lead us not into temptation.''
