What is the theme of West Side Story?

Question

A. The prejudice is evil.
B. All is fair in love and war
C. Any friends you have are okay
D. Get revenge for everything
E. None of the above

I think C and D are just wrong and B is not true at all. I would say it's A as it was the prejudice which led to all the disasters at the end of the story. So is choice A correct?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Possibly. Read through these and see if you'll stay with A or choose E.

Answer 3

I still think it's A...
Ms. Sue, could you please tell me why you think choice A is not a theme of the West Side Story? No offence. Just want to know your opinion on that. Thank you so much : )

Answer 4

Ms. Sue will answer you in due time. I think she's right to choose E because there is no true evil in this story. Prejudice, yes, but no true evil.

Answer 5

Yes. Writeacher and I agree that this story does not have true evil.

Answer 6

Okay, Thanks again! : )
