Anestetic [448]3 years ago

In the year 1783, scientific progress met old-fashioned beliefs. On an otherwise normal day, a group of French villagers got quite a surprise. Down from the sky, a strange creature slowly floated. With pitchforks and other farm tools, the villagers struck the creature. Under this furious attack, the creature finally stopped moving.

To the eighteenth-century villagers, the object from the sky looked like a monster. At the time of the monster's visit, very few people had ever seen a balloon. From his science studies, Professor Jacques A. C. Charles had learned that a newly discovered gas called hydrogen weighed less than air. When he filled a sack with this gas, the sack floated into the air. From the heart of Paris, Charles had released his balloon, and then watched as it floated away. In their attack, the villagers destroyed the first hydrogen balloon.

How can one topic in a text be the foundation for several themes?

Dimas [21]

Answer:

“Theme is the central message of a literary work. It is not the same as a subject, which can be expressed in a word or two: courage, survival, war, pride, etc. The theme is the idea the author wishes to convey about that subject. It is expressed as a sentence or general statement about life or human nature. A literary work can have more than one theme, and most themes are not directly stated but are implied. The reader must think about all the elements of the work and use them to make inferences, or reasonable guesses, as to which themes seem to be implied.

Explanation:

For example, if love is a topic/subject of two novels, a major theme in one of the novels could be “Love, if taken to extremes, can be negative rather than positive,” while in the other novel, the theme might be “Love can conquer even the greatest evil.” Notice that the topic/subject is the same, but the messages about that topic/subject are different in different works.
