“That all seems so irrelevant now, doesn’t it? Lords and chimney sweeps fight side by side and die side by side, and nobody cares what they once were.”
This is the great reality of war, isn’t it? My father and uncles fought in WWII. They saw comrades die. They probably suffered from survivor guilt. They certainly never spoke about any horrors they had seen. It is probably the first time that Hugo realizes he is not special or superior because he was born to nobility.
