Show transcript
The books in Martha’s room move on their own, introducing an element of the supernatural. Ravens help to create an ominous atmosphere in the novel. Key themes in the novel include the supernatural, good vs. evil, fate and being an outsider. A theme is an important idea in a text that is explored in a number of different ways. As students of English, the first step is to work out what are a text’s most important themes.
