Eragon is the main character in all for books Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr and Inheritance. In the book Inheritance Eragon is an experienced warrior and hero. Throughout the book with the help of sapphire Eragon has been training his skills to defeat the antagonist Galbatorix. Sapphire is Eragon's dragon and Galbatorix is the equivalent of an evil dictator with a dragon army whose only goal is to control all of alagaesia.Eragon has been training with his best friend Arya to defeat Galbatorix. Arya is one of the best warriors in all alagaesia( The setting of Inheritance) and she is the daughter of the elf King Evander.
The book Inheritance has many themes and many symbols but the theme that I found most prominent theme is doing what needs to be done even if it is difficult. Throughout Inheritance Eragon has had to make many difficult decisions one of which is when Eragon, Saphira, Arya and their army raid Galbatorix's empire. This a perfect example of doing what needs to be done because Eragon doesn't have to risk his life to defeat Galbatorix. Eragon could easily fly away from the battle and never return but that's not what he does Eragon leads the army into the fight because he knows that it must be done( Pg 654-698).
As I stated earlier there are many symbols in the book inheritance the one I found the most interesting is the Dragon. Dragons play a big role in the book inheritance they are a symbol for strength, bravery, power and beauty. I believe this because of how the people in inheritance view dragons some people adore them others fear them. An example of this are on pages 654-698 this is when Eragon rode saphira into battle and that is when you could see the fear of death in Galbatorix's men. But yet on page 170 Sapphire gave the people hope that they could have a better live.
Another symbol that I would like to discuss is magic. Magic is very common in Inheritance but yet it means a lot. Like the dragon magic is a symbol of fear but also hope. Magic is used in many different ways, Magic can be used to kill or to save. Magic has the power to destroy an empire or save one. An example of magic giving someone fear is when a archer shot a magical arrow at sapphire nearly killing her this gave everyone fear that they would never defeat Galbatorix. But at the same time Eragon used his magic to heal sapphire, this gave everyone hope that she would survive and that they could not be defeated(pg 40-42). This is why I believe that dragons and magic are symbols in the book Inheritance.
