Editing Do Not Go Gentle: Overview (section)

==Thematic Elements==

The stars of the story are Flawed Heroes. They’re exceptional, but they’re still human, and the more powerful they are, the more flawed they will be. 

The story thematically is about the Dying of the Light. Good people grow old and pass away, and the world grows darker towards the century’s end. Everybody and everything will die one day – the story is about how people deal with that.

On the other hand, there is a mood of Optimism that is present throughout the arc. Even in the darkest of days, there is always hope, and there are always happy times to cling to and cherish.
