what is the theme of Artistotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of Universe

A key component of many coming of age stories is the discovery of the self – of values and beliefs; of emotional capacities and tendencies; of hopes and goals and intentions; of physicality and sexuality. Such stories generally portray their young characters as initially having a limited sense of who they are; as, over the course of the narrative, having that sense expanded (often either against their will or as the result of circumstances, or both); as experiencing discomfort as a result of that expansion; and as often experiencing a new sense of hope and possibility once that discomfort fades and new truths are revealed. The experiences of the central characters of “Aristotle and Dante …” tend to follow this pattern / template quite closely.
