One such example is the couple’s jokes about the dangers of smoking. In place of explicit acknowledgement, they allude to death with dark humor. The solution she and Adam settle on is to not acknowledge death as a possibility. The uncertainty of Adam’s future pains Miranda to think that the man she’s falling in love with could be dead in a week, a month, or a year causes her great suffering. ![]() Miranda and Adam refuse to acknowledge the real possibility of death Adam faces as a soldier. Through Miranda’s staunch avoidance of death, Porter suggests that denying death is unproductive and even harmful, as it blocks the path towards a healthy acceptance of mortality.

Yet she refuses to acknowledge death upfront, choosing instead to allude to death indirectly: consciously through humor, and unconsciously in her dreams. It confronts her in her dreams, in the funerals that fill the streets each day, in the ongoing war, and in the raging influenza pandemic that antagonizes her city and the rest of the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() “That's really what got us excited because they were like, ‘All right, cool.
