A theme is a
thought or idea about life that the author explores in a literary work. Themes
may be deep, difficult to understand, or even moralistic. Generally, a theme has
to be extracted as the reader explores the passages of a
work.
In this blog, you will keep track of how a particular
theme is explored and developed throughout Lord of the Flies. You will
also identify quotes and details from the novel that are connected to your
specific theme.
Your work on this blog will help you plan
the thematic essay you will have to write at the end of this unit.
