In Chapter 2, Triss claims to not recognize collective responsibility when it comes to the magicians’ role in the attack on Kaer Morhen, considering herself blameless for the part her “people” played in past violence. Compare Triss’s perspective to Geralt’s or Yarpen’s, exploring the notion of collective responsibility in relation to the ongoing conflict between humans and nonhumans.
Yennefer and Geralt are both at the margins of society because they are not “normal” humans, but Yennefer’s position is more acceptable than Geralt’s; she is a sorceress while he is a witcher. Explore the differences between their respective social statuses in relation to the novel’s examination of The Nature of Monstrosity, usefulness, and fear.
In Chapter 4, Geralt teaches Ciri the history of Aelirenn and Shaerrawedd. Keeping this context in mind, discuss the symbolic significance of the White Rose that Ciri picks.
