To provide a more accurate answer, please provide the specific passage from "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" that you would like me to analyze for themes.
Peyton Farquhar was a well to do planter, of an old and highly respected Alabama family. Being a slave owner and like other slave owners a politician, he was naturally an original secessionist and ardently devoted to the Southern cause. Circumstances of an imperious nature, which it is unnecessary to relate here, had prevented him from taking service with that gallant army which had fought the disastrous campaigns ending with the fall of Corinth, and he chafed under the inglorious restraint, longing for the release of his energies, the larger life of the soldier, the opportunity for distinction. That opportunity, he felt, would come, as it comes to all in wartime. Meanwhile he did what he could. No service was too humble for him to perform in the aid of the South, no adventure too perilous for him to undertake if consistent with the character of a civilian who was at heart a soldier, and who in good faith and without too much qualification assented to at least a part of the frankly villainous dictum that all is fair in love and war.
Based on the provided passage from "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," the phrase that describes a theme suggested by the details is "honor and duty." This can be inferred from the character's strong devotion to the Southern cause, his longing for military service, and his willingness to undertake perilous adventures to aid the South. These details convey a sense of honor and duty towards one's country.
