A theme in a literary text is best described as "a lesson about life." Themes explore fundamental and universal ideas that the author wishes to convey, often reflecting on human nature, society, or existence. This is distinct from the most important character, plot events, or the narrator’s point of view, which are elements contributing to the text but are not themes themselves.
