Define universal theme

Using the Universal Theme knowledge point
A universal theme is an idea, central message, or lesson about life or human nature that transcends time, culture, and geographical boundaries. It represents fundamental human experiences that anyone, anywhere, can relate to.

Analyze statement I

Statement I: "A person confronts nature."
This describes the classic conflict of "character vs. nature," which is a fundamental human experience found across global literature (e.g., survival stories). Thus, it is a universal theme.

Analyze statement II

Statement II: "A person rebels against society's norms."
This describes the classic conflict of "character vs. society," representing the struggle for individuality, freedom, or justice against collective constraints. This is a common experience across different cultures and eras, making it a universal theme.

Analyze statement III

Statement III: "A person feels conflicted between passion and responsibility."
This describes an internal conflict ("character vs. self") regarding duty versus personal desire. This psychological and moral dilemma is a timeless aspect of the human condition, making it a universal theme.

Determine the correct option

Since all three statements (I, II, and III) represent fundamental human conflicts and experiences that transcend specific cultures or time periods, they are all examples of topics that a universal theme may cover. Therefore, the correct choice is "I, II, and III".
