Major Themes

Within the novels, Asher seems to represent the darker sides of Anita's sexual desires. Asher's demanding nature, ability to dominate Anita's mind, and pure physical danger represent a strong contrast with more supportive, less demanding lovers such as Micah or Nathaniel. However, in surrendering her self-control and safety to Asher, Anita has experienced the greatest pleasure out of any of her many lovers.

Famous quotes containing the words major and/or themes:

    “Never be afraid to meet to the hilt the demand of either work or friendship—two of life’s major assets.”
    —Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)

    “In economics, we borrowed from the Bourbons; in foreign policy, we drew on themes fashioned by the nomad warriors of the Eurasian steppes. In spiritual matters, we emulated the braying intolerance of our archenemies, the Shi’ite fundamentalists.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
