sebastian fauks 'birdsong' an the indefference of nature and humanity evaluation.?

Question

i want an evaluation of the brutality of war - indifference of nature and humanity ....fir example how nature continues while humanity ruins itself

i want to also have a connection of it to a war poem and the how it reflects the life of someone in the war eg. Weir

Answer 1

I think the real concept - I read the book and I loved it - is that nature never stops, whatever happens except a planetary disaster as the one who got dinosaurs to disappear.
However, me men and women are not able to hear the sound of nature, i.e. the bird songs, when we are in a fury.
The contrast here is violent because the fury is the fury of war, whilst birds are questionably the most pacific creatures on Earth.
So the message is there : a crisis, a war destroys our ability to hear. The characters in the book are physically AND MENTALLY deafened by the bombings. On top of that, "birdsong" is a love story, but love ALSO is deafened by the war.
