Without the theme the plot would be meaningless and there would be nothing for the readers to derive from the literary piece. Without the plot, the theme would be meaningless as there would be nowhere to consign the message the writer intends to give the reader. It can be said that the plot and theme are the two most important literary elements of a literary piece and are inter-dependant.

    One example of the theme occurs when the author first introduces the story. “But the summer I was 9 years old, the town I had always loved morphed into a beautifully heartbreaking and complicated place.” (pg. 1). The author is saying that the year she turned nine, she found out something about her town that broke her heart and changed the way she saw it. This quote is important because it supports the theme. It shows that now she is older she has learned something about her town that made her wiser than when she was younger. She is now more informed because the new information changed her and caused her to begin to mature.

  • Theme

    626 Words  | 2 Pages

    Theme is the central meaning in a literary work. Meyer emphasizes theme as a unifying point around which the characters, plot, setting, point of view, symbols, and other elements of a work are organized. A theme can be stated explicitly, usually when the authors tell the reader the point of the story, or it can be stated implicitly, when the theme is fused into the elements of the story. In order to identify an implicit theme, readers need to analyze and extract it from the characters, setting, symbols, plot, and other elements that make up the story. Therefore, elements of fiction influence the overall meaning of a work. In addition, Meyer says that first we need to distinguish the theme of a story and its subject since they are not the same. For example, many stories share subjects such as death, loneliness, sin, poverty, and many more, but each story express a different view of life in each subject. In order to analyze the theme of a literary work, Meyer has illustrated pointers that readers should apply while reading. These pointers include: paying attention to the title of the s...

Plot is the way a story's events are arranged. its hard to recognize themes in some stories. A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner is especially a tough story to recognize the theme, In the story the events are not arranged in chronological order, and the plot is one that overwhelms and shocks the reader. However there is always a theme present and the underlying themes in this story are remarkably striking. The three main themes in this story are tradition versus change, isolation, and the power of death.

  • The Lottery Moral

    698 Words  | 2 Pages

    In summary, the short story The Lottery by Shirley Jackson was a very suspenseful and unusual story. The author had interesting ways to tell the reader about the events that take place and why. By using very descriptive details and focusing mainly on what exactly was taking place, the author offers the reader a sense of keenness to know what will happen at the end. Even though the author was not entirely clear about why the lottery was taking place and what the result would be, she is more than clear about the townsfolk’s feelings regarding the whole situation. This and many other details in the story enable the reader to think critically about the implicit meanings in the story. In all, I enjoyed reading this story a lot and would recommend this story to someone else who can read and think critically about the context of a story.
