2 Literary Theme: It is defined as being a main idea or an underlying meaning of a literary work that may be stated directly or indirectly. Major Theme - a major theme is an idea that a writer repeats in his work, making it the most significant idea in a literary work. Minor Theme - a minor theme, on the other hand, refers to an idea that appears in a work briefly and gives way to another minor theme.

4 Literary Motifs: It is an object or an idea that repeats itself throughout a literary work. Motif vs. Theme - a motif contributes toward the development of the/a theme. It is a recurrent image, idea or a symbol that develops or explains a theme while a theme is a central idea or message. Motif vs. Symbol – a symbol, in a literary, work may be seen once or twice, but will represent something else and help to understand an idea or a thing. Whereas, a motif is a reoccurring image, idea or sound that help to explain the central idea or theme of the text.
