The author never tells the reader directly what the theme of his/her work of literature is. In other words, you have to figure it out yourself. • Theme is not a one-word topic– ex. Violence. Rather, it is an idea related to a topic– ex. Love can often lead to violence. • The theme of a text expresses the author’s opinion or raises a question about human nature or the meaning of human experience.
