Entangled Love Triangle




        The book City of Bones contains an entangled love triangle that slowly unfolds as the novel continues. For example, Clary and Jace, shown by the yellow arrow, are in love with each other. Clary's best friend Simon is in love with Clary, Jace's shadow hunter friend Alec is in love with Jace, Isabelle likes Simon, and finally the warlock is in love with Alec. This love triangle evokes jealousy among the characters and causes tension that leads to fights and arguments. These entangled love triangles also shows the characters' age by the display of young teenage drama often associated with teenager's relationships. The otherwise dark and serious tone of the book, these love triangles bring a light attitude to the story line and  familiar actions seen with teenagers.
