  • Introductions 
  • Narrative perspective 
  • Physical description 
  • Imagery 
  • Dialogue 
  • Contrasts
  • Character groups  
  • Characters' thoughts, dreams etc. 
  • Character and setting

The notion of relationships is also a good thematic concept as is perhaps notions of love and loyalty.
Identity - collective versus individual is also a theme that could be interesting to connect with.
