Explanation:
Most stories, including novels, are character driven: this means that is the characters (often a few, specially the protagonists and the main antagonists) who carry the story forward, and part of that process is the character's growth or development, which is influenced by the events of the plot.
This character growth is often the most important element of the novel's theme.
