Answer:

Theme

Step-by-step explanation:

In literature, the theme is the central message or life lesson that a story holds about a topic. Very often, this literary device is not stated outright in the story, instead, it is suggested through the plot: the series of events of the story, the conflicts, the characters' actions, and words and their interaction with one another.

The correct answer is theme.

Obviously it isn't plot, as plot is used in the definition/clue for the word.
If you have studied figurative language, you should know that it can't be symbolism.
Also, while the climax should be invigorating, it shouldn't be the main message of the entire book, and it isn't really conveyed through the plot.

By process of elimination, you could figure out that this was theme.
