Richard Bamberger states that "Love is love and death is death." Readers may convey this statement as good. The themes of good and evil remain universally identifiable. The themes of good and evil become apparent through time and prove evident in these works. From the Anglo/Saxon Period, when very little records remain tangible, to the Romantic and Victorian Ages, where writers determine the good and evils of life and love, one thing remains true. Despite the era, themes of good and evil lie dormant in the authors' works. Whether the writer states them directly or indirectly, the readers become aware of the writers intended meanings. Themes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a literary work. Some of the most praised and reverenced works of literature possess depths that include themes, symbolism, imagery, and tones. Often readers rely on these concepts of writing to identify with the writer's purpose and meaning. The authors of the Anglo/Saxon, Victorian, and Romantic Ages truly project these concepts and prove them evident in their works. Determined from their diction, imagery, and syntax, the readers develop ideas from the writers themes that sometimes develop from their environments and social ills. Many a day, these significant works propel their readers to do well.
