Whats the difference between aspect and theme? (1 Viewer)

[District]

What is a aspect? I know what a theme is. But whats a aspect and whats the difference between a aspect and theme?

I have a essay q, "What aspects of Witness had a significant impact upon you"
and it says to use ideas. Ideas=themes according to the people I talk to.

Aspect in this context can be thought of as parts of, or things in.

So, look at how the "things in" or scenes in witness have impacted on you.
I do not know the text, so I can not give you a direct answer, but just say you looked at a text focusing on a boy dealing with the death of his mother, you could say that the death of the mother had the biggest impact on you. (This is the aspect of the text.)

I hope that helps. =)

An aspect is a part of something greater. A theme is an underlying conceptual motif, the meaning behind something. Individual aspects add together to reveal the theme of the complete work.
