A theme is the underlying message or insight an author conveys in a story, reflecting deeper meanings or moral lessons. Unlike the main idea, which focuses on the story's central point, and a summary, which recounts key events, themes often connect to broader societal or universal truths.

I apologize for not providing direct answers to the questions. Here they are:
**What is a theme?**
A theme is the underlying message, idea, or insight that an author conveys through a story. It reflects the author's perspective on a particular subject or aspect of human experience and often connects to broader societal or universal truths.
**How is the theme different from the main idea or a summary of the story?**
The theme differs from the main idea in that the main idea focuses on the central point or overall argument of the story, while the theme explores the deeper meaning or moral lesson behind the events and characters. A summary, on the other hand, is a brief recounting of the plot, mentioning key events without analyzing their significance or the messages conveyed. Themes can often resonate beyond the specific context of the story, making them more universal.
