Theme is what the writer wants to make clear. Plot is what happens in the story

Explanation:

The theme is mostly one sentence and it is what the writer wants to make clear. The plot is what happens in the story (like a summary) and this can be more than one sentences.

Explanation:

Theme is the writer's message about life, whereas plot describes the main events and sequence of a story.

A key difference is that themes are often short and can be said in one sentence, whereas the plot of a story can be lengthy. Themes are a relationship between the story and life- essentially an extension of the story and how the events can be applicable in real life. Simply put, plots just describe the story.

Hope this helps!
