1. Politics is disappointing, completely disappointing, but someone still has to do it. Need to maintain faith.
2. In addition to life, people can also choose to die.
3. The dialogue between BOBBY and the priest is my favorite. Everyone wants to convince others, but also wants to convince themselves. It seems meaningless, but it is the whole meaning. This process constitutes life.
4. Choosing to die is sometimes not because of despair, but of expectation.
5. The attention to detail is similar to Han Dong's novels. The trivial truth can actually be shocking.

Hunger quotes

  • Father Dominic Moran: I want to know whether your intent is just purely to commit suicide here.

    Bobby Sands: You want me to argue about the morality of what I'm about to do and whether it's really suicide or not? For one, you're calling it suicide. I call it murder. And that's just another wee difference between us two. We're both Catholic men, both Republicans. But while you were poaching salmon in beautiful Kilrea, we were being burnt out of our house in Rathcoole. Similar in many ways, Dom, but life and experiences focused our beliefs differently. You understand me?

  • Bobby Sands: I'm clear of the reasons Dom. I'm clear of all the repercussions. I will act and I will not stand by and do nothing.
