Theme: Theme is what the author believes about a significant topic in the novel. Theme can be discovered by listing major topics/ideas/concepts from a work of literature and then asking the question "What does the author believe about this……?"

The theme itself should not mention the work at all, since the theme existed in the heart of the author before the work was created.

The theme should be a complete statement, a full sentence, not a phrase or a fragment.

The theme should be wise, profound, and complex, and should seem to answer the question "WHY" or complete a statement that includes "BECAUSE."
