Conflict In 'All The Light We Cannot See'

Conflict is a complex condition, it is both a mental phenomena as well as a physical sensation. Certain events in life are inevitable; one being the occurrence of conflict and that once one is faced with conflict, they will react. The two ways one responds to conflict is their fight or flight reaction, they will either face the conflict or attempt to escape it. Times of conflict also summons one to chose action vs apathy. To take action would mean to place other’s well being before one’s own, while choosing apathy is to make oneself indifferent to the needs of others for the sake of one’s own well being. In All the Light We Cannot See, Anthony Doerr proves that conflict has the ability to alter human nature.
