As you can probably guess by its title, the main theme of Dauntless is that of bravery. But rather than portraying the standard displays of bravery which are really more for machismo’s sake, Bonnin focuses on showing the strength and conviction to do what is necessary. Bravery as a virtue doesn’t just mean the absence of fear. Rather, we are shown the importance of having the will to do what must be done. Even when it seems the odds are against you.
The best thing about the message of bravery that Dauntless shows us is that it emphasizes the fact that there are so many different kinds of courage. There’s the courage to stand up to our enemies. And there is also the courage to stand up to our friends. There’s the bravery needed to face the past. The bravery needed to confront your abusers and tell them, enough. And of course, the courage to admit your feelings.
Dauntless tells us that there is no one way to be brave. All that matters is having conviction and strength of will to do what is right. Especially in the defense of others. What a beautiful message, don’t you think? We all owe it to the people around us, those who we share a sense of community with, to try our best to be strong and brave for one another. And every character in Dauntless displays this to the fullest extent.
