Evaluation of Theme
1. What is the story’s purpose?
2. What does the action of the story reveal about life or people? What is its central insight?
3. Is the theme stated directly by the author? Where? OR is the theme implied?
4. Does the title of the story have special significance?
5. Write several possible statements of the story’s theme.
6. Do your statements of theme take into account the whole story—all of its events and characters—and not just part of it?
7. What is your response to the theme? Do you think it is valid? Why or why not?
