Original:

The main theme revolving around each of her works is the idea of self-acceptance and coming into one's own in relation to the choices we make and the consequences that follow. Clare focuses on heavy subjects throughout her novels. She explores sexual orientation through several main characters who are gay or bisexual (i.e. Alec in The Mortal Instruments; Magnus Bane in both The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices), hones in on shifting family dynamics and the ways that family ultimately take priority, and infuses a few multicultural characters (Magnus is half Indonesian, half Dutch; Jem of The Infernal Devices is half Chinese; Maia Roberts, the leader of the New York werewolf pack, is biracial) into a plot filled with a multiplicity of characters.

Revised Version:

The main theme revolving around each of her works is the idea of self-acceptance and coming into one's own in relation to the choices we make and the consequences that follow. Clare focuses on heavy subject throughout her novels. Some of those topics would be:


 * Religion
 * Prejudice
 * Jealousy
 * Love
 * Art and Culture
 * Appearances
 * LGBTQ Lifestyles


 * Love

Cassandra Clare writes multiple characters where in a world surrounded by religion, the character's conflict is that of their own sexuality in the mix of the entirety of the plot. Such as with one of the main characters, Alec who is a Shadowhunter having a relationship with Magnus Bane who is a Warlock. In the fictional world of this series the two fictional creatures would not be accepted in a relationship, it is a parallel of how in the mortal world LGBTQ+ people are not easily welcomed by others. This is just one example of how Cassandra Clare reaches her thousands of audiences through her series' themes. Her series stands out from other Young Adult fiction series as she implements realistic struggles into her characters lives and progressively has them overcome them in the series.
