It is the central topic or moral a context or story posses. In the other words we can say that theme is the certain message writer want to convey through his writing. It can also happen that a story has two or even more than two themes according to the readers as the story about women empowerment also carries the theme that hard work pays off. A theme is usually the moral lesson regarding experiences of difficulties in daily lives. A reader can not jump on to get the theme of the context out, it is lying within the context and main idea of the story helps to get the readers know about the theme of the context. Themes can mainly be divided into two categories, thematic concept and thematic statement: a work’s thematic concept is what readers “think the work is about” and its thematic statement is “what the work says about the subject”.
The most important or central thought of a paragraph or larger section of text, which tells the reader what the text is about is called the main idea. The main idea is generally a sentence, and it is usually the first sentence which unfolds about the plot of the story and characters interacting in it. Main Idea can also roughly be called the summary of the central thought of the context, as it tells about the much-needed details like story plot and the characters interacting in it. In readers perspective main idea is also much important as it tells that whether the context is up to their taste or not. Generally contexts have unique main idea and is regarded as the most notable sentence throughout the context.
