Question Possible Themes?

I've never been too great on analyzing novels and then coming up with a theme. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to possible themes in the novel? Would there be any quotes to exemplify this theme?

Yes... I have a project and I'm so confused. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What are the most common themes in literature? Power, greed, love, etc.

You could go on "Conclusion" since it ends the series. You could go on "Honor" because Fouquet saved the real Louis from prison. Then you could follow that up with the baseness of Louis for imprisoning Fouquet. You could go with the conniving and of the power hungry Aramis.

Those are some thoughts. If you want quotes, you should read the book.
