This is very unlike the stereotypical ghost stories of today. I feel Thomas Hardy has uncovered a whole new type of ghost story. One of the messages the story conveys is

    I can’t help but wonder what this country would be like if we didn’t have great leaders such as Benjamin Franklin‚ Patrick Henry‚ and Thomas Jefferson. The Declaration of Independence would have never been written and we would probably still be under the thumb of the British Empire. Our lives would not be the same. We would not have the right to freedom‚ liberty or justice. All decisions would probably be made for each of us. Benjamin Franklin would not have shown us the way to a better life‚ there

    Ironical Significance: The title of Arms and The Man is chose after careful consideration. The title is both apt chosen attractive and the dramatist’s choices justified.
