Another common theme is the struggle between good and evil. The darkness can represent evil, and the characters are the forces of good trying to overcome it. For instance, in a story where a village is in the grip of a dark curse, the villagers have to find a way to fight against the evil causing the darkness. This struggle can involve moral choices, sacrifices, and the discovery of inner strength to combat the malevolent force of the darkness.
Isolation is also typical. When there is darkness, characters often feel alone. They might be cut off from others, like in a town surrounded by a dark fog where no one can get in or out. This makes their situation seem more desperate. Moreover, the theme of hope often emerges as well. Despite the overwhelming darkness, there is usually a glimmer of hope that the characters hold on to, whether it's finding a way to escape the darkness or bringing back the light.
