Theme refers
to the underlying or overriding idea on which the story evolves. It is the main
idea that connects the details, plot and characters together without which a
story would not be coherent or would have no clear structure. It makes a work
of fiction distinct from a simple news report. A news report may have a series
of events (plot) and people (characters) but you would just be facing a “so
what?” at the end of the rendition. Theme talks about abstract realities in
life that makes the reader or audience feel for and be part of or be affected
by the story.
