Question
'The Address' is a story of human predicament that follows war. Comment
Solution
The phenomenon of war brings lot of suffering for human beings. It brings with it death and destruction. It kills the feelings of love and sympathy. The story Address is based on this theme. The narrator's mother leaves all her valuable things with an acquintance during the war. The mother dies and many years later, the narrator comes to the woman to have a look at her mother's belongings. But the woman shows no human feelings towards her. Rather, she behaves in a very hard hearted manner. She doesnot even let the narrator come in and sit a while. She closes the door. Thus, we find that war leaves the world desolate not only on the physical level but also on the emotional and spiritual level.
