সঠিক উত্তর: খ) theme.
Theme:
- The central idea of a literary work.
- For example, the major theme of Pride and Prejudice is love, of Othello - jealousy, of Hamlet- Revenge.
- A work of literature may have several themes. For example, the themes of Great Expectations are: a child's growth to be a gentleman, love, the power of money, etc.
Other options,
Motif:
- বারবার আসা কোনো প্রতীক, চিত্র, বা ধারণা।
- A motif is a symbolic image or idea that appears frequently in a story. Motifs can be symbols, sounds, actions, ideas, or words. Motifs strengthen a story by adding images and ideas to the theme present throughout the narrative.
Tone:
- লেখকের বিষয়ের প্রতি দৃষ্টিভঙ্গি বা মনোভাব।
- Tone হলো কীভাবে বলা হচ্ছে, theme হলো কী বলা হচ্ছে।
- Tone does not mean quite the same thing in literature as it does for the way people speak, but it’s pretty close; it refers to the “feel” of a piece of writing. It’s a more complex and general quality than, say, an “angry tone of voice”; instead, it is closer to the meaning of “style” or “voice” in writing, possibly referring to any or all of the stylistic qualities of the writing, such as formality, dialect, and atmosphere.
Mood:
- পাঠক যে অনুভূতি পায় (emotional atmosphere).
- Tone is very closely related to “mood,” or the overall emotional color of a piece. Indeed, these two terms are almost synonymous. The only difference is that mood refers to an emotional quality, whereas tone can refer to emotional and non-emotional qualities alike. So, a “sad tone” is the same thing as a “sad mood”; but you could only say that a piece has a “formal tone,” not a “formal mood,” because formality is not an emotion.
