What are the common themes in fiction stories?

Common themes include family dynamics. When a woman is pregnant, it affects not only her but also her family, her partner, and her relationships with others. In some pregnant fiction stories, there's also the theme of sacrifice. The pregnant woman may have to sacrifice certain aspects of her life, like her career or her personal freedom for the sake of the unborn child. Also, the theme of hope is quite prevalent as the new life represents a new beginning. For instance, in 'Expecting Sunshine', the main character is constantly grappling with these family and personal changes during her pregnancy. She has to deal with how her relationship with her husband changes and how she envisions her future with the baby. It shows how the pregnancy is a catalyst for a whole new set of relationships and self - discovery. In 'The Red Tent', the pregnancy and childbirth are part of a larger exploration of female relationships and the role of women in the community, highlighting the family and social aspects of pregnancy.

Trust is also a big theme. Since bdsm relationships involve a certain level of vulnerability, in fiction stories, the development of trust between the characters is often emphasized. It could be shown through how the submissive character gradually opens up to the dominant one, or how the dominant character respects the limits of the submissive. In addition, exploration of one's own desires and boundaries is a theme. The characters may start out not fully aware of their bdsm - related desires and through the story, they discover and define their boundaries. This can be a journey of self - discovery for both the dominant and submissive characters.

One common theme is the spirit of giving. For example, in 'A Christmas Carol', Scrooge's transformation involves him becoming more giving. Another theme is the magic of Christmas. In 'The Polar Express', the magic train ride and the visit to the North Pole show this. Also, redemption is a theme, like in 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas!' where the Grinch changes for the better.

Love that transcends lifetimes is also very common. Characters might be reincarnated and still find themselves drawn to the same person they loved in a previous life. This gives a very romantic and fateful feel to the story. A story could show how two lovers keep finding each other across different historical periods and how their love endures the test of time and reincarnation.

One common theme is isolation. In depression, people often feel alone, and this is reflected in stories. For example, in 'The Bell Jar', the protagonist feels cut off from the world around her. Another theme is self - loathing. Characters in these stories often dislike themselves, like in 'A Little Life' where the main character has a very low self - image. Also, the theme of hopelessness is prevalent. The future seems bleak to the characters, just as it can seem to those with depression in real life.

Another theme is freedom. Vans can represent a way for people to break free from the constraints of normal life. In these stories, characters might use their vans to live a nomadic lifestyle, going wherever the wind takes them, exploring new places and meeting new people.

One common theme is exploration. Since the moon is a relatively unknown and fascinating place, many stories focus on characters exploring the lunar surface, like in 'The First Men in the Moon'.

One common theme is the struggle against the disease. Characters in these stories often have to battle the physical and mental challenges that polio brings.

Revenge is a common theme. In many 'torture stories fiction', a character who has been wronged seeks to inflict torture on those who have hurt them, like in 'The Count of Monte Cristo'. Another theme is power struggle. Those in power may use torture to maintain control, as seen in '1984'.

A common theme is passion. It's at the core of many erotica stories, showing intense emotions between characters. Another is exploration, like characters exploring their own sexuality or new relationships. And desire, the longing for someone or something is often a central theme.
