Making prediction is an important reading comprehension strategy and you need to identify the literary theme in order to do so. The theme is the reason why the author has written the piece; the message the author wants to convey through the story. If you know the theme, you can make prediction about how the story will progress.

In the Happy Prince, the theme is that appearance does not always represent one's true feeling; for example The big metal statue of the Happy Prince “feels” the compassion and sacrifices himself for the oppressed.

Theme is the "story" behind the story - what the writer wants to convey through the story. The message can sometimes be hidden and requires deep understanding of the story before the theme can be identified. But other stories, it can be identified easily.

In the Happy Prince, one of the theme is the love between the Prince and the swallow. Such perfect love exists such that when the swallow kisses the Prince, their hearts break.

What is the theme of “A Complication or Two”? How does the narrator develop the theme? Use evidence from the text to support you
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer :

The theme of "A Complication or Two" is that chance results in greater fortune than careful planning.

The narrator carefully constructs this theme throughout the story. The narrator had made a grand ten year plan for his future education, starting from an Ivy League School of choice to a Law School. However, fate had other plans for him and the role of fate started when he received his rejection letter from his preferred Ivy League School. He opted for some more volunteer service at Tri-Valley Hospital where he met his future university mate and wife, Alma . Coincidentally, he also landed a residency at Tri-Valley Hospital after clearing medical school. If he had received an acceptance letter from his parents' alma mater he would not have opted for more volunteering service and would not have met his wife of thirty years or landed the residency at Tri-Valley Hospital.

The following lines from "A Complication or Two" describe the role chance or fate plays in life :

"Looking back, I suppose my life started with that letter. I don’t think everything necessarily happens for a reason—there’s too much tragedy in the world for that. But there’s no doubt that some misfortunes turn into pivotal moments that can alter the course of a person’s life for the better. Alma and I have been together for 30 years now, and I still wonder what that other life—the one in which my letter said “congratulations”—might look like. I expect it would have been pretty grand, full of its own triumphs and pitfalls. "
