This story illustrates the complex and ambivalent nature of the human relationship to death. On one hand, Sentaro is desperate to find a way to live forever, showing a fear and aversion to the idea of dying. On the other hand, the story also portrays the inevitability of death and the acceptance of it as a natural part of life. This ambivalence is a common theme in human attitudes towards death, as we often fear it but also recognize its inevitability.
The story does not conclude with a satisfying resolution to Sentaro's desire to live forever. Despite his efforts to find the elixir of immortality, he ultimately realizes that it is not possible and comes to accept his mortality. This can be seen as a commentary on the futility of trying to cheat death and the importance of coming to terms with our own mortality. In this way, the story offers a more realistic and bittersweet portrayal of our relationship to death, acknowledging both our fear of it and the need to ultimately accept it.
