In literature, the theme refers to the underlying idea of the story presented, this implies the theme is the message the writer wants the audience to understand, that is usually connected to some element of life such as love, death, power or evil. Considering this is the underlying message there is not a rule on how it is presented as in most of the cases the theme is not explicit, but in some cases, it can be introduced by the author or narrator in any stage of the story. Additionally, as the theme is a belief or reflection about life, it can be linked to one specific cultural elements, culture or context, which implies not all audiences will understanding or by the contrary, apply to multiple cultures and contexts that implies the message can be understood universally. Thus, the statement that is true about the theme is that themes may be specific to one culture or apply to multiple cultures.
