Think of books like Jane Austen's " Pride and Prejudice" or Emily Bronte's " Wuthering Heights." For a modern example, just look at Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series. Sometimes, it is even intertwined with other themes. They go beyond those sultry romance novels, too. Love: The universal truth of love is a very common theme in literature, and you will find countless examples of it.Just a few examples include " All Quiet on the Western Front," "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas," and " For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Ernest Hemingway. Books such as " Gone With the Wind" show the before, during, and after of war, while others focus on the time of war itself. Quite often, the characters are gripped in the turmoil of conflict while hoping for days of peace to come or reminiscing about the good life before the war. Peace and war: The contradiction between peace and war is a popular topic for authors.Michael Crichton's "Congo" and "Jurassic Park" certainly follow this theme. " Lord of the Flies" is another in which life and death are important parts of the story. Almost any book by Jack London falls into this category because his characters often battle nature. Survival: There is something captivating about a good survival story, one in which the main characters must overcome countless odds just to live another day.
Among classic novels, you can see this in " The Scarlet Letter," "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," and " To Kill a Mockingbird." As these tales prove, judgment does not always equal justice. In these books, a character is judged for being different or doing wrong, whether the infraction is real or just perceived as wrongdoing by others. Judgment: Possibly one of the most common themes is judgment.
