4816. What do the great writers think about this question? If we
consider War and Peace, the important issue of the book is not how many
millions of men both French and Russian will die, to force the French out of
Russia, but the much more important question of whether Pierre will marry
Natasha.
4817. The fate of the beautiful aristocratic and innocent Natasha
is truly important to Tolstoy, and all his readers, and Napoleon's War is a
lovely backdrop of death and destruction to set off the romance to the
greatest advantage.
4818. Consider the Russian Revolution in literature.
The revolution is the setting, and the backdrop of Doctor Zhivago, where the important
issue is not the revolution, but question: Will Yuri choose the blonde or
the brunette.
4819. And who can forget the important question of "Gone
With the Wind." You know what that question is so I will not bother to put it down
here, but it certainly has nothing to do with the freeing of the slaves, or
Sherman's march to the sea.
