# How does Clerambault develop the theme of War and Its Shadow?

> Clerambault by Romain Rolland

## Answer

Clerambault by Romain Rolland develops War and Its Shadow across the chapters the companion marks for this theme.

Although the book is not directly about war, the shadow of World War I looms over the narrative, serving as the catalyst that exposes the abdication of individual judgment and the rise of collective hysteria and nationalism.

The chapter is framed by the war (World War I) and references the tragic horrors of the League, with images of starvation and death in the streets.
