# Network

Network visualization illustrates connections and relationships between different entities. As to be expected, the intricacy of the networks will impact the complexity of the visualization.

### Simple Network

This relatively simple network visualization illustrates the relationships between characters in the film, *Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.*

### Complex Network

"Six Degrees of Francis Bacon," a more complex network visualization of early modern social networks, is a [collaborative project](http://www.sixdegreesoffrancisbacon.com/about) to which multiple scholars and students from around the world have contributed.
