The correct statement regarding the theme of a literary work is: "A theme is usually not stated directly, but is shown through characters' actions, plot events, and symbolism."
Themes are often underlying messages or insights about life and human nature that the author conveys indirectly through the elements of the story rather than stating them outright.
