Theme and central idea, are they the same?​

Theme IS NOT the same as central idea. Theme IS NOT the same as topic. One story can have multiple themes. Themes are often recognizable and repeated throughout literature.

Explanation:

The main idea is what something is mostly about. Main ideas are typically found in a literary passage. Central ideas are found in an informational text. The theme is the lesson or message that the writer wants to get across in his or her story.
