Answer:

It is general and broad.

Step-by-step explanation:

A theme is a universal idea explored in a literary work.

Some themes can, indeed, be expressed in 1–3 words. However, there are themes that are longer than that.

For example, in The Road Not Taken, Robert Frost analyzes the theme of illusory nature of free will.
