The theme of the story

Mdshakil

A novel is not just a story, but it is also a theme, because if it is true that a book tells a story, it is even more true that a story tells a theme, a topic. The theme defines the story and the story spreads the theme. When we read a novel and someone asks us "what is it about?", we don't respond by telling them the plot, but the first thing that comes to mind: the theme of the story . The novel could talk about the abandonment of dogs in the summer and that is the theme of the story. The plot is different. Having the theme of your novel clearly in mind makes your work easier. It introduces the writer to a very specific world, which he will have to research.

Because the documentation also includes an in-depth study of the chosen topic. The theme, after all, requires the author to prepare himself on what he will have to narrate about. The theme Phone Number Data represents the tracks to follow to tell the story. Examples of themes in novels by famous writers To the Southern Pole on a velocipede by Emilio Salgari: the theme is the journey to the South Pole. The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett: the theme is the construction of a cathedral. The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum: the theme is violence against minors. At the bottom of the swamp by Joe R. Lansdale: the theme is racism. Son of God by Cormac McCarthy: the theme is human depravity.



Metamorphoses by Franz Kafka: the theme is transformation and the consequent solitude. Misunderstood by Florence Montgomery: the theme is adults' misunderstanding of children. I am legend by Richard Matheson: the theme is the destruction of humanity due to a virus. Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley: the theme is the creation of a man in the laboratory. The Betrothed by Alessandro Manzoni: the theme is a marriage hindered by the powers that be. Do you recognize these themes? Do they perhaps not represent what you will answer to the question "what is the book you are reading about?" I have reduced the gist of the story as much as possible, but the general theme is the same. The writer will work on that general theme to create his story.
