Theme
The THEME is the essential idea, group of ideas, or philosophy that the writer wants the reader to understand from the story he or she is telling.
    A simple theme from the folk tale about Little Red Riding Hood might be "Don't talk to strangers." More complex stories discuss more complex ideas.

What plot element is it that teaches us an idea, group of ideas or a philosophy, often times without actually writing about it in the story?
