The phenomenon of war brings a lot of suffering to human beings. It brings with it death and destruction. It kills the feelings of love and sympathy. The story 'Address' is based on this theme. The narrator's mother leaves all her valuable things with an acquaintance during the war. The mother dies and many years later, the narrator comes to the woman to have a look at her mother's belongings. But the woman shows no human feelings toward her. Rather, she behaves in a very hard-hearted manner. She does not even let the narrator come in and sit a while. She closes the door. Thus, we find that war leaves the world desolate not only on the physical level but also on the emotional and spiritual levels.
