In a climate of war, the juxtaposing emotions of courage and fear arise as an inevitable
consequence t0 the complexities of the individual experience. Set amidst World War II Germany
and France, Doerr evinces the horrors of the war, retelling this dominant ‘war narrative’ through
a non-linear and multi-narrational plot to express the inconsistency of both the individual and
collective experience following their exposure to loss. This is exhibited through Doerr’s
characterisation of protagonist Marie Laure, who’s loss of her father transitions her dependent
nature into an independent individual. Initially Marie’s dependence on her father is conveyed
through the metaphor, “every second it feels as if her father slips farther away” exploring Maries
desolation following her father's disappearance. Despite this Maries experiences of loss forces
her to face reality and transitions her into a resilient and brave individual who renounces her
dependence on her father. Through her exclamation “he left me with nothing” Doerr exhibits
Maries inconsistent feelings to represent the juxtaposing feeling of doubt and faith faced by
individuals and the collective amidst loss. Doerr further highlights the transformation of the
human experience of courage through Marie’s uncle Etienne Leblanc who has not “gone
outside...not for years.” following his trauma instigated by the previous war. Despite this
Etienne is forced to overcome his trauma to save Marie. Doerr’s employment of truncated
sentences, “twenty heartbeats, thirty-five minutes. He twists the latch, opens the gate. Steps
outside,” conveys his newfound resilience reinforcing the inconsistency of the human experience
of courage through Etienne’s juxtaposing feelings of fear and determination. Thus, Anthony
Doerr’s utilisation of the historical fiction medium conveys the variability of the human
