The Last Wish

Main Ideas

• A world where humans, elves, dwarves, and other fantastical creatures coexist, and where magic is part of everyday life.
• The main character, Geralt of Rivia, a witcher who makes a living hunting monsters, faces moral and ethical dilemmas that challenge his own beliefs and principles.
• The theme of destiny and predestination, explored through the concept of the "Law of Surprise," which intertwines the fates of the characters.
• The relationships between humans and non-humans, including prejudices, discrimination, and conflicts arising from racial differences.
• The idea that good and evil are not always clear-cut, and that moral decisions are often complex and ambiguous.
• The role and place of witchers in society, their isolation, and the misunderstanding they face from ordinary people.
• The importance of choice and its consequences, both for individual characters and the world at large.
