		Literary works are complex; they are rarely about just one thing.
		Though we have organized the book by theme rather than by literary genre and literary concept, we give serious attention to matters of form and to the ways literary technique serves larger purposes—the re-creation of experience, the testing of ideas, the exploration of social issues.
		And should an instructor wish to organize a course by literary genre rather than by theme, there is an alternate table of contents.

	Theme (literature) - Culture
		Themes differ from motifs in that themes are ideas conveyed by a text, while motifs are repeated symbols that represent those ideas.
		Themes arise from the interplay of the plot, the characters, and the attitude the author takes to them, and the same story can be given very different themes in the hands of different authors.
		The term theme may be used in the same way to refer to works of theatre and film.

	Theme in Literary Fiction
		All works of literature have a theme, even if (in the case of many modernist and postmodern works) it is only that life is ultimately meaningless.
		The theme of Shakespeare's Othello, for instance, is jealousy; the theme of Ibsen's A Doll's House is liberation.
		In most cases it is not possible to reduce a theme down to one word, but a theme should be some abstract principle rather than simply a synopsis of the plot.

	The Practice and Theory of Canadian Thematic Criticism (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This conception of literary theme was author-centred: theme was the principle by which a work had been organized or the axis along which it was developed.
		While themes may be brought into existence by the individual reader's recognition of them, they may become more important when readers and writers become communally conscious of a body of themes - and of their shared awareness of those themes - as happened, for example, in the creation of Renaissance courtly love poetry.
		One problem, therefore, with the past critiques of themes has been their failure to recognize that such namings of themes were always already themselves culturally marked, and that the critics' statements need to be understood as themselves part of a larger discourse, situated within national or cultural contexts.

		Theme is generally defined as the main point or central argument of a literary work, but in many works--perhaps in most works--there is more than a single theme.
		In literature, themes are seldom "messages" or "lessons." A literary work obviously written to teach a lesson is considered didactic, a term that implies inferiority (although fables and parables are an exception--their purpose is to convey a lesson).
		Themes should not be expressed as "cliches": A stitch in time saves nine; you reap what you sow; the early bird gets the worm.

		Although Crichton's works clearly have a theme beyond the plot, he is presently categorized as a thought-provoking author of popular fiction and not a writer of works anthologized in literature books.
		The theme of a story is not to be confused with the moral of a story, for a moral is an unambiguous lesson readily apparent in a work such as exists in a fable.
		Divisions such as these are artificial, for most writers use all of the elements to communicate theme, but some students have difficulty determining the theme or theme of a work of literature, and I have found that this step-by-step method works to make students more independent in their analytical and critical abilities.
