The theme that these works share is the idea of judgement and accountability. In "A Contribution to Statistics," the speaker reflects on the idea of mortality and the inevitability of death, and how it is impossible to escape judgement. The poem suggests that everyone will be held accountable for their actions in life, and that death is the ultimate judgement. In "The Last Judgement," the protagonist is faced with a similar situation, as he is forced to confront his own mortality and the consequences of his actions. The story suggests that the protagonist will be judged for his actions, and that he will be held accountable for them. Both works explore the idea of judgement and accountability, and how it is impossible to escape the consequences of one's actions.
