Mary Anne of Things They Carried
One of the main themes of the novel is the allure of war. This trope, common in war literature, is made more complex here as O’Brien adds the layers of a Conrad-esque “heart of darkness” fascination in the character of Mary Anne. The seductive allure of war is inextricably linked to the tendencies of human nature in O’Brien’s novel. War, more specifically the act of killing, acts as a catalyst for some individuals, causing them
