Answer:
Theme
Explanation:
In literature, the theme is the message a text conveys about a topic, it is the life/universal lesson the story holds. A literary work may have several themes and they are not directly stated in the story, therefore the reader usually has to think them through.
For example, in the Cinderella fairy tale, one of the topics of the narrative is "Dreams", and the theme or the message that the story conveys about that topic is "Dreams can come true".
