A White Heron Theme Wheel

Looks like you're viewing this page on a mobile device. The A White Heron Theme Wheel is a beautiful super helpful visualization of where the themes occur throughout the text. They're only accessible on tablets, laptops, or desktop computers, so check them out on a compatible device.

The Theme Wheel visualizes all of A White Heron's themes and plot points on one page.


How does the Theme Wheel work?

  • Each wedge of the blue ring represents a part.
  • Each row of colored boxes extending from a wedge represents a part of the part. The closer to the blue ring, the closer to the beginning of the part.
  • The colors in each row indicate which themes are “active” in that part of the part.

The Theme Wheel is interactive.
