The central idea of "The Interlopers" is developed when Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym, two long-time foes, are forced to put aside their bitter feud and cooperate with one another for the sake of survival after a tree had collapsed on them during a storm.

Furthermore, on page 365, Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym become friends. This means that life is precious, too precious to waste it fighting for three generations with your neighbor over forest land.
