It should be noted that the theme of the story “The Wretched and the Beautiful” is about the "plight of refugees"

The theme of a story simply has to do with the main idea that's contained in such a story. In the story, there were two groups of aliens who appeared in the midst of human beings and sought refuge. The second group were given refuge and accepted but the first group was not.

The story tells us not to judge others quickly.

Answer from: Jasten

Answer and Explanation:

"The Wretched and the Beautiful", by E. Lily Yu develops the theme of how refugees are perceived and treated, but does so through an impactful metaphor - aliens.

In the story, the extraterrestrials that first appear on a beach are received with violence. Humans are quick to attack them, seeing them as dangerous, unwelcomed visitors. Those aliens ask for refuge, which then leads humans to confusion. They do not wish to help, to get involved in someone else's problems.

A second group of aliens arrive and convinces the humans that the first group consists of criminals. Humans are more than relieved when they realize they are not the ones who will deal with those first aliens.

It is important to notice that the first aliens had an atrocious appearance, while the second group was beautiful. How come humans accepted what the beautiful ones said as the truth, but not what the ugly ones said? Our judgment is quick. We are scared of what is different, of what is foreign, of what is helpless. We like what is similar to us, what will not demand anything from us.
