“Love is a noose.”
There are several themes throughout this series. How many have you found? Which do you think is most crucial the story? Additionally, construe them to your everyday lives as non-assassins.


Sarah "Love is a noose" is a great one. It even sounds good, phonetically.

Another recurring theme is: "Life is empty. Life is worthless. When we take a life, we aren't taking anything of value."
Towards the end, I kept wondering if Durzo actually believed in this principle of his as much as he claimed to have had.
