![]() ![]() Beattie Roper and her family are pacifists and therefore anti-war, deemed conscientious objectors by society and authorities, and treated harshly and with disdain. Billy Prior is not pro-war on political grounds but out of loyalty to the men who have served under him and especially those he has seen killed whilst fighting for King and country. The main characters fall heavily into one camp or another. This novel is generally considered to be an anti-war novel, and the main theme of the book is the conflict between the pro-war and anti-war elements of society.
