The underlying universal message of a text is the theme.
The theme is a big idea, something that you can learn about life in general.
Here are some examples of themes found in literature:
Love, such as Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, a tragic tale of forbidden love with terrible consequences.
Death, The Fault in Our Stars features teenage characters coming to terms with their mortality in the face of terminal illness.
Good vs. evil, The Chronicles of Narnia, C. S. Lewis', follows four siblings who pass into an entirely new world, in which they encounter characters both good (Aslan) and evil (The White Witch)
I think that the phrase "sporting proposition" means a game of chance.
It was used in this dialogue:
<span>"Simply this: hunting had ceased to be what you call `a sporting proposition.' It had become too easy. I always got my quarry. Always. There is no greater bore than perfection." (1.96)
</span>
When you say "sport" is infers a chance of winning and losing. There is no sure outcome.
In the above lines, hunting has become a sure deal and it does not invigorate nor inspire the hunters to do better.
