Themes:

One definition of magic that the novel provides is the conception of magic as a kind of life force—it enables Colin to stand, and the flowers to work out of the earth. It is also aligned with the Christian God.

One of the book's underlying themes is the way in which happiness begets happiness, and misery begets only more of itself. For example, the fact that Master Craven is sad ensures that he will continue to be sad, and will make those around him similarly dismal.

Plot Conflict:

The major conflict in The Secret Garden is between each character and their own negativity. The garden becomes a healing force in their lives.

Resolution:

After all those days Colin has been walking secretly. They reveal all their secrets to Archibald Craven and Marta, all of them remain happy once their secrets are revealed.
