Theme & Tone Rida, Rosie, and Annika

Theme ● A main idea or an underlying meaning of a literary work that may be stated directly or indirectly ● Conveyed through the narration and tone of the piece ● Literary works can have multiple themes, minor and major ● Idea never stated outright o suggested by characters, narration, and tone

Difference between a Theme and a Subject ● Subject is a topic which a literary work is generally about, while a theme is an opinion expressed on the subject. ● Ex) A writer may choose a subject of war for their story, while the theme of the story may be the writer’s personal opinion that war is a curse for humanity.

Examples of Themes ● In a battle between love and hate, love will always be victorious. : Romeo and Juliet ● War is unjustifiable and senseless: “The Man He Killed”

Tone ● The attitude the speaker expresses towards his or her subject and audience ● Expressed by an adjective (ex. sarcastic, sad, cynical, etc.) ● Purpose of tone: decides how the reader should feel while they’re reading the piece o gives voice to the characters o allows the reader to better understand the character

Examples “Son, you are not allowed to go on the trip.” -“Great, thanks a lot” (sarcastic) -“Okay, I understand” (calm, understanding) “I got a bad grade on my math test” -“I’m sure you can make it up, you tried!” (optimistic) -“That is unacceptable” (harsh, formal)
