Themes:

There are many themes in the book The Alchemist. Some of them, we can clearly see throughout the book, and other we cannot. Here are five themes that I have listed on this website: #1 The only way to be truly happy in life is to pursue one’s personal legend. #2 If you love something, set it free. #3 Fear is an obstacle to achieving your personal legend, keeping one from being truly happy. #4 The secret to happiness is a simplified life. All of these themes are big themes in the book.
