A theme has a few different definitions. As defined in your
text, "a theme can be, broadly, a topic explored in a literary work
(e.g., 'the value of all life'), or, more narrowly, the insight
about a topic communicated in a work (e.g., 'All living things are
equally precious'). Most literary works have multiple themes,
though some people reserve the term theme for the central or main
insight and refer to others as subthemes." Many works have a few
themes, some major, and some minor. Think of it as a sort of
message.
