Themes In every area of literature in the world, there is an underlying theme. Try to understand m, if you understand each other, you will be kind to each other. Knowing a man well does not lead to hate and almost always leads to love. There are shortcuts, many of them. There is writing that encourages social change, writing that condemns injustice, writing that celebrates heroism, but on any basic topic.
