1. Substitutionary Love--love which is expressed by one person sacrificing and taking the consequences due to another.
2. Christ figure--This figure always has some special power or quality which makes him uniquely suited to save the world.
3. Fellowship--This is the idea of a number of people who, only by working together, are the Christ figure as a unit. Each of the members of the team contain special gifts which when put together make them successful.
4. Justice--At its simplest this theme is the idea of wrongs being righted. Often it means punishment coming to the guilty and/or vindication coming to the innocent. It’s basically the right consequences befalling the right people.
5. Resurrection--the hero (usually the Christ figure, but not always) dies, or appears to die, and then returns to life at the pivotal moment.
6. Redemption--Simply this is the change of a character from bad to better, or even from good to better. This redemption most often comes through suffering of one kind or another, often involves the turning away from particular weakness or temptation at a crucial moment, and interestingly is often thematically represented through some kind of baptism or immersion in rain, river or water.
