What a literary critic determine the stories theme?

by reading the thesis I believe

The characterization and vocabulary words help the critic better understand the novel. For example, the more you help describe the characters feelings and emotions. The more you do this the more the critic can help determine the stories theme.

Explanation:

covert: hidden or secret

candid: truthful and straightforward

what i get from these phrases is covert means undercover or underground and that's where the flower is in april. on the other hand, may is the month where flowers start to bloom and thats the reason why candid is being used as a word to describe the blossoming period of a flower.

hope this answer you.
