Theme
The main theme developing in Cassandra Clare's The Dark Artifices series is the concept of maturing and the transition into adulthood. The conscious decision one must make between responsibility and personal desire is explored through Julian and Emma's hesitancy in Lady Midnight. The two struggle between pursuing their feelings for one another and weighing the consequences of defying Shadowhunter law, which could ultimately threaten the Blackthorn family. Clare also explores the experience of having one's beliefs challenged, and how to handle such instances. In Lord of Shadows, Emma and the Blackthorns learn this the hard way when the family is betrayed by their former-friend and warlock, Malcolm Fade.

Etymology
It is also theorized that the word "'tango" is derived from the Portuguese word "tanger," which means "to play a musical instrument." Another Portuguese word, "tangomão," is a possible predecessor of the word "tango." The word is the combination of the verb "tanger" (to touch) with the noun "mão" (hand), and resulted in the verb "to play a musical instrument with one's hands"
