I think you're confusing "theme" with "moral," which aren't the same thing.

So it sounds like your "Dick meets Jane" love story would have the
theme "Love is a characteristic of the chaos that occasionally brings
unlike events together, and the people involved are unknowingly pawns
in the chaotic scheme of the universe."
