Meyer's writing calls to mind the old epic stories of heroes, who die after a lifetime of greatdeeds, only to leave a void in their absence. In this play, we only know the warrior from his end, from his regrets and what gets left behind. Through his final moments we see the cracks truly open in a façade of strength, and see a glimmer of the human inside, facing down the weight of fate and his own choices. The end is a sincere and lovely moment of grace and redemption, both personal and mythic. ”
