Question

In literature, a "coming of age' theme means

1.A protagonist reaches the age of twenty-one
2.A protagonist goes through a very terrible experience
3.A protagonist goes through an experience that enlightens him/her about life

Answer 1

3

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't think that "coming of age" would literally mean a certain age. In literature most themes are based on internal experiences, including this theme of "coming of age." Thereofre, I think this answer would be #3, "A protagonist goes through an experience that enlightens him/her about life" because the protagonist being enlightened is a classic coming of age story used in literature.
