1. THEME - can be considered in 4 ways
a) Lesson - the learning that comes from a story that is generated by a particular reader for that reader.

b) Thesis - the central learning that an author wants the reader to obtain from the story.
• Eg. All The King's Men by Robert Penn Warren - tries to teach in various ways that all men are weak and even if they become powerful they will become corrupt)
