Having your reader understand the subtext of what a character is saying or doing leads to unease and tension. If they know that a character is lying, the unease and uncertainty that comes from that will up the tension.

What is the difference between a motif, a symbol, and a theme?
A symbol can be a one-off thing, while a motif is repeated. It takes a symbol and repeats it throughout the work. And through its repetition, it expresses the theme of the story.

Subtext is all about understanding a character, especially their secrets, and using that to inform on what they say and do, without revealing the secret or being overt about their thoughts. It’s really all about what isn’t said, but implied.

“The Lie: Find the reactions that your character is having to certain conflicts. These will be symptoms of the Lie. For example: when another character tries to show them love they reject it or don’t believe it. By finding their reactions or their symptoms, you can ask yourself “what lie are they telling themselves that makes them react this way?”
