Summary

This quote suggests that it is impossible for a war to persist for a prolonged period if it goes against the wishes and desires of the general populace. It asserts that the will of the people is a powerful force that can ultimately determine the outcome of any war. It implies that if a society is strongly opposed to a conflict, their collective resistance and refusal to participate or support the war can eventually lead to its downfall or abandonment. This highlights the importance of public opinion and popular support in the success or failure of military campaigns.

Deep inside her (ih her harrowed soul) she felt a glowing ember of fury at the man responsible for this. Tha man who had put her in this position. She looked at the pistol lying beside the basin, and knew that if he were here, she would use it on him without a moment's hesitation. Knowing that made her feel confused about herself. It also made her feel a little stronger.
