Question

Which element of fiction is shaped across the work and can be revealed implicitly when a text is read closely?
characterization
plot
setting
theme
point of view

Answer 1

The correct answer is "theme".

Themes are underlying ideas that are often not understood openly until a further analysis is conducted. One would have to read the entire narrative and understand everything in it in order to find out what the main theme, or minor themes, are.

Answer 2

The correct answer is theme, I just took this test recently and theme was the correct answer.
