Looking at Robert in a physical sense, he has many characteristic similarities that could be associated with the horses and that is being strong and athletic. To begin with, Robert’s deep connection which parallels and reveals his individuality can be seen through the horses, rabbits and the coyote. In Timothy Findley’s The War, the existence and lives of animals is used to reveal and parallel Robert’s individuality, foretell situations that he will find himself in, and symbolize a ray of hope amidst the war. The sufficient use of animal imagery in The Wars by Timothy Findley is used to characterize and explore the theme of the protagonist Robert Ross, a nineteen year old soldier, whose love and connection for animals is explored and revealed through the characterization of a third person’s point of view.
