Question

What is the difference between a thematic concept and thematic statement?

Answer 1

Answer: Thematic concept is what readers think the text is about, and thematic statement is what the text says about a subject.

Explanation: Themes are sometimes divided into thematic concepts and thematic statements. A work's thematic concept is the broader topic it touches upon (love, forgiveness, pain, etc.) while its thematic statement is what the work says about that topic. ... Themes are almost never stated explicitly.
