With there being many different essays and articles written on The Suit, you can be certain that you are going to be able to get the help that you are looking for, with the theme being romance, distress and torture, you can be sure that you are going to have the right information to write the assignment or essay for your project.

· Romance

The romance theme is apparent as the wife in the story is found in bed with another man, the relationship between these two people affects the marriage and therefore she must have had a valid reason for having an affair. The romance is apparent as she is going to love both men and need to choose, this aspect relates to the fact that The Suit is based on a love story which becomes very complex.

· Distress

The distress factors are obvious, the husband is going to be distressed that his wife has cheated on him, and she is going to be distressed at the way in which he deals with the suit throughout the rest of the story. Love tales usually have the aspect of distress and The Suit is no different.

· Torture

There are two aspects of torture within the story. He is tortured as he has to remember that his wife was in bed with another man, and she has the obvious torture of the suit being treated as a real guest within the house that they share and have together. The torture is the factor which all of the other themes account to and it is the main theme of the story overall.

The Suit is studied because it has a wide range of themes that you can understand and look in to when you are writing about the book, it is what has made it popular and well known over the years.
