Theme Analysis
Explain and Define
Theme analysis is simply finding the theme to a work. A theme is a general message, idea, concept, opinion, or belief that the author is expressing using said work. Knowing the theme is important to understanding the message of the work, and to lend insight on to the things happening in the work. To find the theme, read through a piece and look for subjects that are repeated, or things that events or characters are often tied to. Some examples of themes could be man-vs-man, sef-destruction, etc.
