What is the theme of a story?

1 answer

The theme of a story is its underlying message, central idea, or insight about life and the human experience. It's the deeper meaning that reflects the author's perspective on a particular subject, such as love, friendship, conflict, ambition, morality, or social issues. Themes can be explicit, clearly stated within the narrative, or implicit, subtly woven throughout the plot, characters, and setting. They often provoke thought and encourage readers to explore the complexities of life and their own beliefs and values.
