What is the main point of the story "Button, Button" by R.Matheson?

I have a paper to do about “Button, button” by Richard Matheson. I have to figure out the main theme/point of the story. However, I’m not sure about the theme/point. I need suggestions or even anwers on what the main theme/point is. PLease help me…

Answer #1

Basically, it’s the debate of money versus humanity…giving someone the option to earn money at the demise of another person - will they do it?…but a twist at the end, when the person pushing the button earns the money from her insurance company after her husband is killed.
