Which sentence best describes the relationship between a story’s conflict and its theme?A story’s conflict cannot be understood
unless you understand its theme. The way a story’s conflict is resolved usually suggests something about the theme. A story’s conflict and its theme are usually revealed at the same point in the story. Both conflict and theme are clear only at the very end of a story.
The way a conflict is resolved usually suggests something about the theme.
For example, let's say a theme is "truth." If a conflict has a positive resolution, that says something different than if it has a negative resolution. A negative resolution to a conflict might indicate truth is painful, while a positive resolution to a conflict might indicate truth is necessary and/or healing.
