As I've read this novel I have noticed many messages the book could be conveying. A literary theory can be used to decipher and uncover the messages left in the book. While reading
Batman Nightwalker, I noticed a variety of literary archetypes. Coming of age requires one's sense of naive and oblivious behavior to cease. The journey is a situational archetype that moves this story forward and proves this is a coming of age story.
Batman Nightwalkers is a fiction mystery book with a romance component and a hint of mystery, written by Marie Lu and published in 2018. The main character you will read about in this book is Bruce Wayne, a very rich 18 year old who has just received an inconceivable amount of money as his inheritance. …show more content…

He learns her true motives and intentions while she breaks free and sets her plan off. She and her team lead by her brother Cameron who is supposed to be dead hold up a theater with many rich hostages for ransom. Bruce realizes his feelings for Madelyn and puts a stop to her and her brother's scheme.
Themes are ideas hidden through periods, words and commas. It explains the main idea of the story and what you should take away from reading the book. Marie Lu conveys the theme
“coming of age” through the details and big picture in the story. The journey is an archetype that,

This shows Bruce loved her and cared for her deeply, even though he knew it would never work and was impossible. The loss of someone he loved caused him to lose control over his emotions, and even though she might not have deserved these strong emotional reactions, Bruce didn't care and that's what love is.
“The Mentor” is the final archetype I found in the book that completely stands out to me.
The mentor is an older person who's wise and teaches the initiates. He is sometimes a father figure and can give the hero advice or anything of need at the time, he is also seen as a role model for the hero. Alfred, who is Bruce's butler, has always been a mentor for bruce. “Bruce had always considered him to be strong and invincible, king of fair- but now, for the first time he seemed old, his gray hairs more noticeable than ever. Mortal.” “LU 189” This text clearly demonstrates how highly Bruce has thought of and looked up to Alfred. He calls him strong and invincible to show how mighty he thinks he is and kind and fair to show what a good person he is. He looks up to him in every way possible and even though he doesn't like the way
