A Note on Theme: Strictly speaking, 'theme' refers the main idea(s) in a piece of writing. Most fiction explores more than one theme at a time. Some typical themes in literature are: loss of innocence, the limits of human endurance, the line between right and wrong. There are many others.
Read "The Destructors" by Graham Greene and answer the questions below.
1) What do you feel is the main theme or themes explored in this story?
2) Who is the most static character in the story? Who is the most dynamic? Explain.
3) It's been said that "little in literature is black and white, rather most fiction is about the grey area in between." Write a paragraph responding to "The Destructors" in which you agree or disagree with this statement.
