We compute the entanglement entropy and the entanglement spectrum of the vacuum state in the massive Schwinger model at a finite theta angle. The theta term is implemented through a chirally rotated lattice Hamiltonian that preserves the periodicity in theta already at the operator level and maintains the correct massless limit without theta-dependent lattice artifacts. The physical origin of entanglement entropy enhancement at theta=pi is clarified by relating it to the competition between distinct electric-flux vacuum branches. We show that the peak near theta=pi persists across the range of masses studied and corresponds to the point of maximal competition between distinct vacuum branches with opposite electric-field orientation, where quantum fluctuations due to fermion pair creation are maximized. While this entropy enhancement is generic, a pronounced narrowing of the entanglement gap occurs only near the critical mass ratio m/g ~ 0.33. Using the Bisognano–Wichmann (BW) theorem, we construct a lattice BW entanglement Hamiltonian and compare it with the exact modular Hamiltonian obtained from the reduced density matrix. We observe agreement between these Hamiltonians in the infrared sector, indicating that the entanglement Hamiltonian is well approximated by a spatially weighted microscopic Hamiltonian. These results establish entanglement observables as sensitive probes of the theta-dependent vacuum structure and highlight the chirally-rotated formulation as a natural framework for open boundary conditions. Additionally, we discuss possible applications to entanglement in topological insulators and quantum wires.
