Conan the Barbarian (1982 film) [SEP] Themes
The central theme in "Conan the Barbarian" is the Riddle of Steel. At the start of the film, Conan's father tells his son to learn the secret of steel and to trust only it. Initially believing in the power of steel, Thulsa Doom raids Conan's village to steal the Master's sword. Subsequently, the story centers on Conan's quest to recover the weapon in which his father has told him to trust. Weaponry fetish is a device long established in literature; Carl James Grindley, an assistant professor of English, said ancient works such as Homer's "Iliad", the Old English poem "Beowulf", and the 14th-century tale of "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" pay detailed attention to the arsenal of their heroes.
