Theme

The Legend of Drizzt has several key themes. One of them is Drizzt's internal battle between moral and beliefs. The drow rely heavily on belief, they praise their goddess Lolth and will do whatever it takes to be in her favor. Being dark elves, the drow don't recognize evil as a bad thing. Most of them don't even have a conscience. However, Drizzt isn't like them in that aspect, he has morals. He wants to remain loyal to his family and what they've taught him but he doesn't want to be evil. In the end he decides to escape Menzoberranzan and face the surface world. This brings me to the second theme. Once Drizzt reaches the surface world he faces racism and hate. Drow aren't accepted among other races. This makes things hard for him as he's now on his own. Eventually he finds people to accept him as a friend. These friends would become like Drizzt's and would do anything for him. While it's hard to take away from this type of fantasy story with undertone, you can analyze the story and see that family isn't always going to be there but greater things can come your way if you believe in yourself.
