In the seventh scene, soldiers are seen walking while whistling.

Here women
sing for the soldiers. In other words, they use women to recruit men, just like in
the old times, they brought female artists to entertain the soldiers to boost their
morale.

In Scene eight, Fanny gives Joe the medallion gift she prepared for him. Joe says
he will carry it until he dies. Fanny says, "You don't want to wear this for that
long," implying that nothing will happen to Joe in the war and that they will live
together for many years. Joe loves Fanny too much to leave her, but Fanny does
not want to be as blindly in love as Joe because she predicts that Jane will not
want this relationship due to the class distinciton between them. Even though
their families were good friends in the past, they believe that a past friendship is
not enough when it comes to uniting families. At the same time, the fact that
Fanny is a stage artist shows the modernist aspects of this work.

In the ninth scene, Joe and his mother go to the station. The bad effects of the
war are felt everywhere in the station because the surroundings are in a terrible
state.

Red Cross nurses appear on the opposite sidewalk. (Red Cross performs the
same function as the Red Crescent institution in our country. Especially during
the First World War, they trained many nurses for the wounded and sent them to
the squares and hospitals.)

Joe doesn't have much time to say goodbye to his mother, but it actually relieves
them because neither of them know how to say goodbye. Jane is already a
wounded woman due to the pain she experienced after Edward's death. She also
has the fear of losing loved ones, as happened when her husband Robert
volunteered in the Boer War. After Joe gets on the train, Jane sees the wounded
soldiers were brought. Her face is expressionless but her hands are shaking. She
is a woman who has already experienced many bad events in her short life, such
as the World War, the Boer war, the death of the Queen, and the Titanic disaster.
Even though the death of the queen seems like a very natural event, it is a
disaster for the British people because they are very loyal to their country and
monarchy.

In the tenth scene, Ellen goes to Jane's house to talk about Joe and Fanny. Jane
is surprised to see Ellen, she is wearing fancy clothes. Jane is wearing her daily
clothes. It's like everything has turned upside down. Ellen and Jane begin to
argue about this. Although Jane says she doesn't want to get involved in this
issue, she actually doesn't seem very excited about this marriage. Ellen attributes
this to the class difference between them and tells Jane that everything has
changed now and Fanny is now a successful person who receives very good
offers. In short, he needs approval. However, Jane's ideas do not change. Later,
the maid comes with a letter in her hand. When Jane's face turns white after
reading the letter, Ellen gets worried and asks what happened. Jane says Joe is
dead and she faints. For Jane, there was another painful loss after Edward's
death; in short, her greatest fears came true.

After the ceasefire is declared, everyone is wildly happy in Trafalgar Square,

holding painted wooden and red, blue and white paper squakers. However, Jane
cannot experience the same happiness. No amount of wealth can give Jane the
happiness she desires anymore because she has lost things much more valuable
than worldly possessions. Land of Hope and Glory is playing in this scene. The
song Land of hope and glory is an English patriotic song written in 1901. It has
become a tradition to play it especially at graduation ceremonies, sports events
and proms. The majority of British people prefer this for national anthem.

Their adventures, which started and ended on New Year's Eve. Jane and Robert
resent England's victory despite everything they have lost. After the First World
War, people became more realistic and pessimistic, which enabled them to
accept their fate.

In the last scene, they go to the nightclub where Fanny works. Fanny writes a
song and in this song she criticizes the so-called civilization, goverments, wars
and God, who she thinks is silent on everything. People start dancing slowly.
(Margaret's dancing with other men as a widow shows another modernist side of
the work.) The scene ends with the British flag shining in the darkness and the
singing of the God Save the King anthem. It stating that England will survive
every bad situation and always shine and that patriotism is the most important
issue for the British.
