The story takes place in Italy, where couples are in grief because their sons are sent to the frontline. Dismayed parents discuss about their love for their fallen sons, but a particular man brings them out of misery by glorifying youth's determination to serve the country and to live their life to the fullest. He points out that his son was happy to serve the country and die in the frontline. Although many parents find comfort in his speech, one mother asks if his son died in war. A sudden realization struck to him - that is, his son also have fallen in the frontline... and he surprises the others by sobbing in despair. Luigi Pirandello's "War" reveals the humane prospective of war often ignored in the era of world wars where government Propaganda accentuating ultranationalism, adventure and other factors that glorify war.
