Data collection techniques use documentation techniques in finding data relevant to the subject. As for data analysis methods, the authors perform systematic procedures with the understanding of novels, symbols and symbol analysis, as well as semiotic theory. In this writing, literature research is taken as a method of data collection. The three themes of the struggle about death, sacrifice, and hope are reflected in the symbols of the war.
