Question

In the first men in the moon, Mr Cavor expresses to the Selenites that,"men of my race considered battle the most glorious experience of life". Make an inference and describe what this statement implies about the human character. Do you think Mr. Cavor's statement is accurate? Write a 5-6 sentence response.

Answer 1

The statement, “men of my race considered battle the most glorious experience of life,” likely infers that by nature, the human race is dark and brutal, and thrives on warfare. It would also be likely, that if Mr. Cavor was asked by the Selentites to elaborate, that he would explain this through the vast human history of ancient myths dealing with the glory of war. For instance, in the Norse afterlife, fallen warriors are taken by the Valkyries to Valhalla, a hall of the heroes where the noblest warriors who fell in battle, feast with the god Odin.
