The Moon is Down

. . .
Mayor Orden represents good, standing for democracy and the will of the people. She had two passageways in her house, one from which the enemies entered and one from which the townspeople entered. ”

Another theme is that good will always triumph over evil. This is because As Mayor Orden said the one impossible thing to do is “ To break a man’s spirit permanently,” The people “want to be free” said Dr. This symbolizes her two choices, to take in one of the soldiers and love him despite her husband’s death, or to remain loyal to her townspeople. In this case snow represents cold weather, like the coldness of the German invaders controlling every aspect of the small town’s lives. “Thus it came about that the conquerors grew afraid of the conquered and their nerves wore thin…” The solders were forced to hide all of their emotions and their trouble is best shown through what Colonel Lanser said “ That girl. Though it is nighttime, there is no moon, meaning no light meaning only darkness, meaning evil with no hope of goodness. In the end though, she remains strong just as all of the other residents of the town, proving once again that little people always win. The town’s people upon being captured turned into cold hard people expressing little emotion to show the soldiers that they were strong even though they were dying on the inside. ” This feeling especially occurred after the soldiers were treated coldly by all the townspeople.
