Tous les hommes sont mortels

The novel delves into how awareness of mortality shapes self-perception and societal roles. Did anyone feel this added a layer of existential urgency to the story?

The historical context seems integral to the themes of societal change and personal reflection. I wonder if the setting was chosen to mirror broader cultural shifts happening at the time.

The character's acceptance or denial of mortality made me reflect on my own views about aging. Would love to hear how others connected with this perspective.
