Throughout the story “The Interlopers,” Saki develops the central idea of friendship and revenge. He does that by showing the transformation from the desire of revenge of two long enemies to a friendship when they are caught together in a difficult situation. Both of them get caught beneath branches in a land that has been in dispute for generations in their families. The feeling between them transform from wishing the other was dead to wanting to leave the past behind and restart as friends.

The first hint of their transformation is when Ulrich offers Georg his flask of wine. "Could you reach this flask if I threw it over to you?" asked Ulrich suddenly; "there is good wine in it, and one may as well be as comfortable as one can. Let us drink, even if to-night one of us dies."

Even when Georg refuses it, an idea begins to form in Ulrich's brain, out of the empathy of being in the same situation and suffering the same pain. "An idea was slowly forming and growing in his brain, an idea that gained strength every time that he looked across at the man who was fighting so grimly against pain and exhaustion. In the pain and languor that Ulrich himself was feeling the old fierce hatred seemed to be dying down."

Ulrich then decides to make his men help Georg before him if they show up first."If my men are the first to come you shall be the first to be helped, as though you were my guest. [...] Neighbour, if you will help me to bury the old quarrel I - I will ask you to be my friend."

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
