Stanley's initial reluctance to interfere with external events may be traced back to the family curse to which he and the other members of the Yelnats family attribute all their misfortunes. When Stanley arrives at Camp Green Lake, he is a mostly passive character who does what is asked of him and doesn't disrupt the status quo: for most of Part One, he doesn't stand up to Mr. The conflicts of the past are of such consequence that they have the ability to seemingly transcend time itself by continuing through the generations and steering the destiny of the characters in the present-day narrative. The Warden’s life is devoted completely to the search for a treasure that her ancestors have been seeking for years after being cursed by Kissin' Kate Barlow.
Stanley ends up at Camp Green Lake, supposedly because of the misdeeds of his great-great-grandfather. For each of the major characters, ancestry affects their surroundings, decisions, and even day-to-day life. Ancestry is a heavily emphasized theme in Holes, and it goes hand in hand with the themes of fate and destiny.
