One of the main and most interesting themes is the personal legend. In it the author talks about what it he/she was hoping you would get.. It is like a dream or a personal goal that needs to be fulfilled in order to live a good life. The author is suggesting that if you want to pursuit a personal legend and is the most primary and urgent thing that life requires of us. The character of Melchizedek explains this concept to Santiago: "Whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it’s because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It’s your mission on earth” (Coelho 24). The concept of a personal legend soon made the protagonist desire to go out and find what was nagging at him the most, to find the treasure under the pyramids of Egypt and he soon set out on the journey to find it. On the way he realizes the journey is not just for what he would find physically, but also what he will find spiritually. This is just showing us that fulfilling a personal legend is just like fulfilling a dream or a goal.
