What Is Theme?
The theme of a work of literature is its root. It
• gives meaning to the work’s characters and events
• reveals the writer’s personal attitude toward the world and
the people in it
• may give readers insight into life and human nature or help
them realize the importance of what they already know
What Is Theme?
A work’s theme is sometimes confused with its
• subject—what the story is about
• plot—the events of the story
• moral—the rule of conduct that the story teaches
These parts of a story are important, but they are not its
theme.
