Boxing Narrative

Throughout Boxers and Saints by Gene Luen Yang, the idea of justice is perpetually dwelled upon. Yang conveys his stories through dual characters: Bao, a Boxer, and Vibiana, a Chinese Christian. They both carry out feats that can either be recognized as justified or not; however, it is nearly impossible to differentiate between the two without fully comprehending the story and recognizing that the reader most often agrees with the individuals who are compassionate. Thus, through the actions of characters and a pattern of one’s death leading to another’s survival, Yang proves that justice is served only to those who show compassion.
