How does diction affect theme in a story? Short Story: "The Bet" by Anton P. Chekhov

It determines the syntax used, which affects how theme is structured.

It doesn’t affect theme at all because it has to do with language choice.

It creates a struggle that advances the plot, which creates the theme.

It affects the tone of the story, which affects how theme is communicated.

Respuesta :

I believe it's the first one because diction is the word choice and phrasing used which goes hand in hand with syntax which is the sentence structure the author uses. Word choice obviously has an effect on how a theme is presented, etc.
Hope this helps!
