However, Butler incorporates themes which are present throughout history and present in many genres, from philosophy to fantasy. These are themes integral to humanity: religion, survival, and competition. Religion, whether you believe in a god or not, has become an integral part of human society. The same fear of death that haunted the Anglo-Saxons still stalks us today. It is clear that no matter what time period or genre, certain motifs are constantly, repeated, revived and revisited time and time again.
