Theme is the subtle teachings or issues that the author wants the audience to reflect about, and he does that by making the characters do or learn stuff that would make the audience see the actions and thoughts of the characters and how they are affected by the theme. The audience learns through the experiences of the characters so the character´s learnings belong to the theme of the play.
