What is significant about the title, Serpent & Dove? In the novel, who is the serpent, and who is the dove? Why is this symbolic for the characters? Discuss ideas and theories with one another.
In the trilogy, the battle of good versus evil overwhelms the other possible themes. With this, naming the serpent and dove should be easy. The Chasseurs are born to be good and just, protecting the name of the Church and dispelling out all evil. This leaves the witches, by default claiming corruption and therefore representing serpents. However, once one dives deeper into the novel, the representation of the snake and dove becomes more tricky. Each side has good and evil, only changing by one's own perspective.
