Theme Vs. Moral

Moral and theme are distinctive literary terms, yet people in the United States have trouble distinguishing between the two. "The Story of An Hour" by Kate Chopin, "What You Pawn I Will Redeem" by Sherman Alexie, and "Guests of the Nation" by Frank O'Connor demonstrate that themes are central ideas such as specific political and social issues. These short stories also incorporate morals relating to karma, fate, and society. While morals are lessons that people can apply to themselves, themes are main ideas unique to the stories. While themes usually have no affect on the reader, morals from stories and experiences may guide a person's life.
