The theme is the message that an author is trying to get his or her readers to understand. For example, in the Greek myth of Daedalus and Icarus, the theme was "don't be prideful". Because Icarus and Daedalus violated this by trying to act like the gods, they were punished: Icarus fell into the ocean and drowned.
