A theme is the central idea or message that a writer wants to convey through a literary work. It is often expressed as a universal statement about human nature, society, or life. In the light of the above information, identify and explain the theme of The Tale of Melon City by Vikram Seth, in about 120 words.

 

Answer as written by the student:

The theme unfolds as a commentary on the consequences of mindless obedience and the potential for chaos when those in authority lack wisdom. Seth uses humor and irony to highlight the flaws in human nature and societal structures, ultimately delivering a cautionary tale about the dangers of absolute power and the importance of critical thinking in governance.
