The Black Dagger Brotherhood: Six Degrees Of Separation

Decent Essays
The Black Dagger Brotherhood(BDB), is an ongoing book series (paranormal romance), that focus on the Black Dagger Brotherhood of vampire warriors who live together and defend their race against soulless humans called lessers. This series of books is my favourite and I wanted to show the connection each black dagger brothers had to each other and the blind king and how their families are connected. Therefore, I use the theory of “Six Degrees of Separation,” to show these connections. Blitzer, R. (2014) noted the theory states that anyone in the world can be joined to any other person through a chain of no more than four intermediate connections. (pg.892) There are seven black dagger brothers: Butch/Dhestroyer, Vishous, Rhage, Torhment, Qhuinn

This reoccurrence of the symbol suggests that there is more to it than what the eye meets. It is such a simple symbol that shows happiness, yet is presented in such a convoluted manner in the comic. The smiley face in Watchmen is used ironically throughout the text to show how the characters, and perhaps all humans try to overlook or falsify violence, reality, and immorality, and further shows that these characteristics can’t be covered up. Additionally, the symbol suggests that we live in a pretense world where we try to find happiness, by ultimately happiness is unobtainable because there will always…

    In Arabian Nights, the theme of power runs throughout the entire book as a back bone for many of the stories told. Demons are conquered by man and kings rise to power in many stories. The power of women, however, is a theme that differs greatly from the power of men in the book. Arabian Nights tells tales of women that are depicted as dependent and powerless in many stories, and their autonomy and power is used as a device in a story where they are given it. They are also given power when they oppose men or are evil.…
