Themes in The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf
The movie has a great plot with fluid action scenes. It is quite thrilling. The actions, magic, fantasy world, and new and horrid monsters, and those fighting them, all make this movie the best. Although the dialogues may be monotone, the actions make up for it.
The movie is about fighting and hatred. Humans are afraid of things unknown to them, that is why they fear witchers similar to how they fear monsters. This hatred causes great doom for witchers, certainly, they are strong enough to fight off monsters but they are weak in front of the hate of humans.
Because you’re different and killing is easier than tolerating.

Battle of begining : The End (The witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf)
The battle at the end is very cruel to witchers. The monsters and ‘humans’ wipe out the entire witchers on their own turf. It was chilling how the monsters by their sheer numbers pressure down the mutant humans, as a result, the witchers take huge damage and they were close to extinction. But Vesemir pierces through the monsters and survives to rise again. He shows great skills in this battle and manages to wipe out even huge monsters.
Human emotions are dangerous, this can be seen from this movie. It doesn’t matter how great one is, one always falls behind the emotions like anger, jealousy, hate. But one can also escape from them. Before they bind one down, one has to bind them. The development of Vesemir is crucial because he was immature, greedy, and arrogant. However, the fall opens his eyes. He comes to know that he is living in an illusion, and whatever he has achieved till now was just minimal. In short, he turns a new leaf as he finds a great disciple and starts to travel a just path.
Conclusion – a new begining
