THEMES


The theme is the major idea or the central point of a work. What wisdom does this story offer? There may be more than one theme and they may often be subtle and ambiguous. Just like you and your friend may have different interpretations about a film you have seen, you may also have different opinions about what the theme of a story is.
The themes will be consistent with all the other facts and details of your story. The theme is the overall purpose that controls the story. When you think you know what a theme is, look for specific examples in the story to prove your thesis.
