GPT-4o mini
A theme is a central idea, message, or underlying meaning in a work of literature, art, music, or any other creative expression. Themes often reflect universal concepts and can encompass a wide range of topics, such as love, conflict, friendship, identity, morality, and the human condition. In literature, for example, a theme might be the struggle between good and evil, the quest for self-discovery, or the impact of societal norms on individual choices.
Themes can be explicit, clearly stated in the work, or implicit, woven into the narrative and requiring interpretation. They often serve as a lens through which viewers or readers can engage with the work and reflect on their own experiences and beliefs.
