 * The 12 Most Common Themes in Literature**
 * 1) **Man Struggles Against Nature:** Man is always at battle with human nature, whether the drives described are sexual, material or against the aging process itself.
 * 2) **Man Struggles Against Societal Pressure:** Mankind is always struggling to determine if societal pressure is best for living. Check out books like //Revolutionary Road// or //Mrs. Dalloway// for examples of characters who know how society says they should live, but feel society's dictation is contrary to what makes them happy.
 * 3) **Man Struggles to Understand Divinity:** Mankind tries to understand and make peace with God, but satisfaction is elusive and difficult.
 * 4) **Crime Does Not Pay:** A popular theme played out in books throughout time is the concept that honesty is honored and criminals will eventually be caught. //Crime and Punishment// and "The Telltale Heart" are two stories written on this theme.
 * 5) **Overcoming Adversity:** Many books laud characters who accept a tough situation and turn it into triumph. Scarlett O'Hara in //Gone With the Wind// exemplifies a shrewd person who finds a way to come out on top despite failed relationships and an economic depression after the Civil War.
 * 6) **Friendship is Dependant on Sacrifice:** This is the idea that you can't have friends if you don't act like a friend.
 * 7) **The Importance of Family:** Sacrifices for family are honored and explored, as are the family bonds that survive adversity.
 * 8) **Yin and Yang: Just when you think life is finally going to be easy, something bad happens to balance it all out.**
 * 9) **Love is the Worthiest of Pursuits:** Many writers assert the idea that love conquers all, appealing to the romantic side of us.
 * 10) **Death is Part of the Life Cycle:** Literary works with this theme show how death and life and intricately connected.
 * 11) **Sacrifices Bring Reward:** Sacrifices and hard work pay off in the end, despite the challenges along the way.
 * 12) **Human Beings All Have the Same Needs:** From Montagues to Capulets in //Romeo and Juliet// or the characters in S.E. Hinton's //The Outsiders//, book after book asserts that rich or poor, educated or dumb, all human beings need love and other basic needs met.
