Literature, however, can be said to be the mirror of life, because it reflects and comments on aspects of things people encounter in their daily lives. Even futuristic novels such as The Hunger Games can reflect life, despite the fact that its world is alien to the modern human being.
A universal theme is often (A) a central message that applies to anyone, anywhere.
For
example, in the To Kill a Mockingbird, the central theme is
the 'death' of innocence. This is a universal theme in a way that in
everyone's lives at some point, there comes a time where their innocence
is shattered....whether they are growing up or have witnessed something
that they shouldn't have. As such, this is applicable to anyone,
anywhere.
I would say A) call to action (roughly 90% sure lol)
