Themes & Motifs
As with many of Robert E. Howard's works, Conan's adventures are about combat and facing challenges. But he is not entirely focused on worldly concerns, like other sword-and-sorcery heroes like Malory's King Arthur.
Howard also wrote stories about love, friendship, and family, which are themes that are always present in the Conan stories.
Locations
Howard often used exotic locales to set his stories (e.g., the Hyborian Age setting), but he did not limit himself to them. He also took his characters overseas into places like Persia and Greece.
