Ah ! i dont know what literary theme is explain it and i swear if anyone puts "in contemporary literary studies, a theme is a central topic a text treats. themes can be divided into two categories: a work's thematic concept is what readers "think the work is about" and its thematic statement being "what the work says about the subject". themes are often distinguished from premises" im going to slam my head on the key board. just explain it better and break it down for me.
