Betrayal and loyalty is kind of the theme throughout the story and it makes a person think about who their real friends are.In Hunters in the Snow, Kenny, tubful, and Frank are all supposed to be friends, but through a couple series of events make a person enjoy what exactly friendship means to them. Each one of the characters has certain traits that can lead them to betray them.
