private conflicts and grief. It becomes internal again when the "bulky
woman" asks the fateful question of the "fat, red-faced man":

clear that questions debating duty to country, number of sons and nephews at
war, the anticipation of shipping out, and heroism in death are drowned
out when true grief becomes overwhelming.

5. Characterization
This type of short
story is indirect characterization because it tell us live in the
passage.
·
Appearence : behind
her, puffing and moaning, followed hr husband, a tiny men: thin and weakly, his
face death, white, his eyes small and bright and looking shy and uneasy.
·
Action : “Nasty and
world” muttered the husband with a sad smile and he felt it his duty to explain
to his travelling companions that the poor woman was to be patied for the war
was taking away from her only son, a boy of twenty towhow both had devoted
their entire life, even breaking up there home at surmona to follow him tto
Rome, where he has to go as a student, then allowing him to voluenteer for war
with an assurance, however that at least six month he would not be sent to the

thanks God that your son is only leaving now for the front. Mine has been sent

Character relationship
: A father gives all his love to each one of his children without
discrimination, wether it be one or ten, and if I am suffering now for my two
sons, Iam not suffering half for each of them but double.
·
Thoughts and feeling :
and our son go, when they are twenty, and they don’t want tears, because if
they die, they die inflamed and happy. Now, if one dies young and happy,
without having the ugly sider of life, the boredom of it, the pattiness, the
bitterness of dissilusion.
6. Point of View
The
third person POV because the narrator is telling a story about other people and
narrator will use words like : he, she, him, their, them, they, her and characters’ names. The type of third
person narrator is omniscient because a narrtor who knows everything that needs
to be known about the character and events in the story, and who has previleged
access to a character’s thoughts, feelings, and motives.
7. Theme
·
we create our own
reality, deceiving ourselves.
While
the passengers have different opinions over whose grief is greater, they all
have strong patriotic feelings. No one even suggests that their sons shouldn’t
have to fight in the war. It’s alright to feel sorrow, but it would be
unthinkable to remove the cause.The old man speaks of his son as a hero who
died for King and Country. Everyone listens raptly and congratulates him.
·
Intellectualizing
Emotions
The
old man avoids dealing with his grief by intellectualizing over the death of
his son. He claims that young people wouldn’t want their parents to cry over
them “because if they die, they die inflamed and happy.” Instead, they
should thank God that their children die satisfied and happy. The shocking
tactlessness of the question destroys his fragile equilibrium, revealing his
extreme anguish.
B. Conclusion
War was written
in 1918 and is not widely available in short story collections. It’s a moving
glimpse at the effect of war on those left behind, the ordinary folks who make
up the bulk of the population.
