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

Let us play a short game after the description I have told you!

Multiple Choice

Which of these is a theme?

Sometimes people aren't able to differentiate between right and wrong

Never be greedy

You should never ever lie

Did you get that right? Let us look at the solutions

For the first option the author isn't telling you DO'S OR DONT'S, he/she is just stating an observation.
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.
