Character motivation and plot.

Why: Theme is revealed by what characters want, the choices they make, and the consequences those choices produce. The plot (events and conflicts) shows how those motives play out and points to the story’s central message. For example, a plot about a character sacrificing their ambition for family loyalty highlights a theme about duty over self-interest.
