I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert … Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

How can you discover themes and central ideas of a passage.
The theme of a text is its central message or universal truth that the author conveys through the characters and plot. A theme can be a lesson that readers learn after reading a text, and any theme can be transferred to other texts. The subject of a text and the central ideas in a text are important in determining theme.
A central idea is an overarching message or truth that is specific to a story. Central ideas are closely linked to themes, and at times it is hard to separate the two. Nevertheless, keep in mind that central ideas are specific to one text, while themes can be applied to other texts.
What is an example of establishing exposition through tone.
Chapter 1 of The Mysteries of Udolpho, by Ann Radcliffe, contains a detailed description of the setting. The description starts off as quite poetic and beautiful, and it then incorporates Gothic elements that establish a dark and mysterious tone. Read the excerpt.
On the pleasant banks of the Garonne, in the province of Gascony, stood, in the year 1584, the chateau of Monsieur St. Aubert. From its windows were seen the pastoral landscapes of Guienne and Gascony stretching along the river, gay with luxuriant woods and vine, and plantations of olives. To the south, the view was bounded by the majestic Pyrenees, whose summits, veiled in clouds, or exhibiting awful forms, seen, and lost again, as the partial vapours rolled along, were sometimes barren, and gleamed through the blue tinge of air, and sometimes frowned with forests of gloomy pine, that swept downward to their base. These tremendous precipices were contrasted by the soft green of the pastures and woods that hung upon their skirts; among whose flocks, and herds, and simple cottages, the eye, after having scaled the cliffs above, delighted to repose. To the north, and to the east, the plains of Guienne and Languedoc were lost in the mist of distance; on the west, Gascony was bounded by the waters of Biscay.
