Be sure to keep notes while watching the 24-minute Universal Themes in Literature video in VLN under Instructional Materials. After watching the video, post an initial comment listing the 7 themes and 15 sub-themes mentioned in the video and briefly explain each one. Yes, all of your responses should be the similar, but you won't see them until I release the comments ;) Then, once the comments are released on Tuesday evening, you will go back in and post a reply on one (1) student's entry. In your reply, you will give one example of a piece of literature, short story, poem, song, movie, etc. for EACH Universal Theme. The example you provide does NOT have to be from the video. Note: Be careful with taking notes. In order to earn full credit, you will need to be correct in your list of themes/sub-themes and explanations. |

While there may be considered hundreds of themes, they can be broken down into seven overall themes, with fifteen sub-themes. The seven overall themes are as follows:

I agree with what Brian said. You did a very good job explaining what was said in the video. You also set it up so that it was very easy to follow and understand. I like how you put examples of some of the topics as well.

Conflict is the most important part of most stories. A story’s theme can based off the conflict of the story. There are many different types. First type of conflict is individual & self which can be in the form of self doubt. Another is Individual & Individual. That deals with a conflict concerning two people. Individual & family deals with one fitting in or resolving an issue regarding family. Individual & society may deal with a person with an issue that society may object of not understand. Individual & Nature can deal with a person and natural problems that occur in the real world. Lastly there is individual & cosmos which can be a person struggling to find their place in the universe.
