"Theme"

Question- What is the definition of theme? What are the examples of theme in literature?

Answer -

Definition of Theme: As a literary device, theme is the central topic or idea explored in a text. Usually, the theme of a work of literature can be started in one word. Such as "love" or "solitude". A work of literature can and often does, have more than one theme. The theme is generally not stated explicitly in the text, but instead is expressed through the character's actions, words and thoughts.

Theme is often what creates a memorable and significant experience of a literary work for the reader. Themes are often subject to the reader's

perception and interpretation. This means that readers may find primary/ and or secondary themes in a work of literature that the author didn't intend to convey. Therefore, theme allows for literature to remain meaningful, 'living' works that can be revisited and analyzed in perpetually by many readers at once or by a single reader across time.

Examples of Theme in Literature:

1. Example 1. Othello by William Shakespeare:

IAGO: Oh, beware, my lord, of jealousy!

It is the green-eyed monster which clotch mock

The meat it feeds on.

Much of the dramatic action in Othello hinges on the jealousy that Othello feeds towards his wife, Desdemona, In this excerpt, Othello's best friend, Iago, warns him of being jealous. Ironically, Iago is the one who creates this jealousy and feeds it.

(2) Example 2. (One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez)

There are many themes in Gabriel Garcia Marquez's epic work One Hundred Years of Solitude, but the titular theme of solitude reoccurs many times throughout the novel. This is a theme that Garcia Marquez states explicitly, and the characters in the novel have many different attitudes toward it.

"The gypsy was inclined to stay in the town. He really had been through death, but he had returned because he could not bear the solitude."
