Nectar in a Sieve is about the changing socioeconomic milieu of a village located in Southern India. The novel portrays virtues in action. There are instances of faith,love and hope in Rukmani's life yet the greatest theme is hope. Nature can test the hope of human yet in the end nature does not grant the ultimate victory.

The figurative language is used to empower the themes, to emphasize certain thing and make the writing persuasive and strong about the idea that the author want to convey, for example in “Nectar in a Sieve” the drums are used to symbolize times of change just like when Ruku listens "drums of calamity" during the great storm in the village.

Explain how Wilder's theme in Our Town encompasses universal man.
lesantik [10]

Again and again the universality of human experience is stressed within the play. The Stage Manager himself is more than just a chorus; he is a universal figure outside of time and space because he can talk to the audience, the characters in the play, and even the dead in the cemetery. The storyline in the play has a very large universality. When people read or watch Our Town, they'll realize that this play could have happened anywhere, in any time, to any one of us.
