An epilogue shows Tom's return to Rugby and its chapel when he hears of Arnold's death.

"theme of the novel is the development of boys. The symmetrical way in which Tom and Arthur supply each other's deficiencies shows that Hughes believed in the importance of physical development, boldness, fighting spirit, and sociability (Tom's contribution) as well as Christian morality and idealism (Arthur's). The novel is essentially didactic and was not primarily written as an entertainment. As Hughes said: Although there were as many as 90 stories set in British boarding schools published between Sarah Fielding's ""The Governess, or The Little Female Academy"" in 1749 and 1857, ""Tom Brown's School Days"" was responsible for bringing the school"
