Theme+song+investigation

A Theme is: A central idea of the work of literature ( Or… The life lesson, moral or message of the text)

A theme in literature usually applies to more than just the characters in the story (They are universal)



For example: In The Lion King – Simba is told ‘take responsibility’ by assuming the throne and by looking after the other animals in the kingdom. In this case the theme is a lesson that can be applied to us all … Take responsibility, think of others and of the greater good!

What are some themes in your favorite Disney movie?

Whatever theme you pick up on from a text is valid. There is no wrong answer when looking for a theme as long as you can support it. This is best achieved by citing evidence from the text to support your theme.
