Universal Themes in Literature. Definition of Theme. The theme of a piece of fiction is its controlling idea or its central insight. In order to figure out theme, a reader must ask what view of life a work supports or what insight into life in the real world it reveals.

my answer -

okay, Univeresal means that it applies to anyone, anywhere, at anytime and it will not include the character's name. For example: Cinderella could have a universal theme of "When a person lives a life of goodness, he will be rewarded with good events" it does not directly talk about Cindrella or the specifics of the story. It is universal!

P.S

Have an AWESOME!!! day ^-^
