Themes in Literature

A literary theme is the unifying or dominant idea in a work of fiction. This is not to be confused with the plot. The theme is the main topic or central idea. This can be as simple as “love,” “family,” or “revenge.” It can be as complicated as “science vs. nature,” “the folly of youth,” or “the treachery of commerce.”
