Which of the following is a theme in a literary text?

Question

the point of view of the narrator
a lesson about life
the most important plot events
the most important character

Answer 1

A theme in a literary text is primarily defined as a lesson about life. It encompasses the underlying message or central idea that the author conveys through the narrative, characters, and plot. The other options—point of view, plot events, and characters—are important elements of a literary work but do not reflect the broader, often more abstract concepts of theme.
