Theme: An idea that recurs in or pervades in a work of art or literature

How to use themes in your writing

  • Themes usually spring from two sources:

    • Something the author decides beforehand​

    • Something that appears as a consequence of the primary conflict in the book

  • Themes are something to think about as you write and look for once you've already written.
