What should a reader consider when looking for a theme?

Theme in a story or writing is the main point, the general idea, the point of the writing. What is it about? That's what theme answers.

Theme has nothing to do with the author other than obviously the author MADE the theme. It has nothing to do with the author's personal life.

The authors direct statement of theme in the text....No. Authors don't TELL you directly WHAT the theme is unless they are doing a review. This is incorrect.

The stated moral of the story, usually found at the end. Fables have morals. They DO in fact mention the moral usually, but this isn't what you should necessarily LOOK for.

What you should REALLY take into consideration are the characters! What motivates them? Maybe a family member or the death of a close friend keeps them going? Maybe they rely on other characters within the book! Characters develop over time, both for better and worse. You should take into consideration their actions, motivations, growth, and behavior.

Your answer here is 100% D

The rules for quotation marks around titles vary depending on which style guide you follow. In general, you should italicize the titles of long works, like books, movies, or record albums.

Compare the characters of Hedda Gabler and Daisy Miller: A Study. Both are the inventions of realist writers, but which is more

Dennis_Churaev [7]

In my view Hedda Gabbler is the most morally ambiguous between the two. Allow me to compare the two characters in order to clarify my views. Hedda Gabbler is an older Norwegian housewife of upper-*Middle class who chose to marry because she was starting to grow older. Her motivations are not always clear and sometimes it seems as though she suffers some kind of mental illness. Also, the etymology of her name is quite revelatory, her name comes from " the Germanic name Hadewig, derived from the Germanic elements hadu "battle, combat" and wig "war" (https://www.behindthename.com/name/hedwig). Hedda is obviously in conflict with the patriarchal society of her time and she aims to not only be in command of her own destiny but also to control her husband. She kills herself in order to deny the power of a man over her. Even in her death she is defiant. Daisy Miller on the other hand is a very young adult and rich American who loves Europe and its ways. She is naive and innocent and her behavior is not as vindictive as the behavior of Hedda Gabbler. Daisy is in opposition to the conservative and patriarchal views of society more because of her exposition ot European cultures and less due to a conscious realization of her condition. Her name is the name of a flower and her death is also symbolic as she dies from malaria. Flowers die during winter and Daisy's winter is the disease that kills her. She is more a victim than a proto-feminist.
