The main theme of “After Twenty Years” is that you should always do the right thing over being loyal to friends. If you don’t do the right thing in any way you can then you will get in trouble. In the story, The cop is Jimmy Wells and the man doesn’t know. The man is actually a thief, but Jimmy didn’t want to arrest him so he got another officer to do it. “I was at the place on time. I saw the face of the man wanted by the Chicago cops. I didn’t want to arrest you myself. So I went and got another cop and sent him to do the job.” This evidence shows that the theme is you should always do the right thing over being loyal to friends. This is the main theme because even the cop says that he doesn’t want to arrest him himself
