The novel[edit]
The protagonist of the novel Shadow and Echo, Iskandar, is opposed to war. He refuses to stand with Muslims who fight against Christians, or to spend this civil war fighting them - Muslims in the novel are the residents of Beirut, where Iskandar lives - just as he refuses to stand with Christians in his village, "Kafr Milat." he refuses here and there. for the reason that” They’re both killing, they're both stealing, they're both lying, they're both intolerant" (page 190).[2]
Iskandar is a staunch opponent of the civil war and beyond. Because both Muslim and Christian parties are equally guilty of murder and theft. This brings Achkar and the majority of Lebanon's war authors together to discuss the meaning and attitude of the civil war.[2]
But Iskandar's rejection of the war is the character's concern; he stands out among the characters in most Lebanese War novels, being just as a character, but as a hero who is unique in calling for a revolution in the entity. How? - One of the characters, Khalil, refers to the 1860 incidents in which his uncle was murdered, and believes that Christians were the victims, and that their own concern in this Muslim East is that they are "a group of frightened".[2]
But as this is a historical reality, one of its reasons lies on the demographic reality, that is based on its identity, on religious affiliation in which Christians are a minority, Youssef Habchi el-Achkar, and as the perspective of his account, refuses to turn the victim into an executioner, so we find him calling for a revolution in the entity, which is in its deepest sense to elevate the human self to the divine self in man. It is a revolution based on the Christian religious logs that reveals, in the novel's deepest sense, that the problem, is the problem of Christianity in Lebanon, it's not as the fighter believe a conflict between Christian and Muslim, but rather the problem of shadow and echo, that in this bright, it’s the misunderstanding of Christianity as a religion and as an ancient history. This is how the narrative opens up to that history, and to the Christians who lived through it, to tell about the origins, the ancestral origins of immigrant to Lebanon from Horan, and perhaps from more than one place.[3]
The narrative highlights the common root that brings the lebanese people together, implicitly indicating a multiple affiliation, and an indistinguishable identity, to a history that must not be forgotten. We must be conscious of the meaning of the shadow and echo, as well as the significance of their interaction.[3]
