Theme

fundamental and often
universal ideas explored in
a literary work.
We will look at three themes.
• The Administration of Justice
• The Effects of Guilt on One’s Conscience
• The Danger of Reliance on Class Distinctions
Symbol
• Symbols are objects,
characters, figures, or
colors used to represent
abstract ideas or concepts.
We will look at three symbols
in this book.
• These themes are recurring (they are discussed
more than twice in the book) and three are
used to show how things are getting worse on
the island.
• The 10 little Indian figures
• The storm
• The food
• The last is a clue to the murderer, so I can’t tell
you what it is!
Motif
• Motifs are recurring
structures, contrasts, or
literary devices that can help
to develop and inform the
text’s major themes.
Motif
• The “Ten Little Indians” Poem
