What are themes?

A theme is a message the author wants to convey to the reader with the help of the story. It is NOT a moral.

What are some differences between THEMES and MORALS?

  • Morals tell you what you should or shouldn't do. Themes are just observations!

  • There can be multiple themes in books

Which of these is a theme?

  • For the second one the author isn't telling you an observation, he/she is just telling you to not be greedy. The same is for the other options.
