1. An imaginary place or state in which the condition of life is extremely bad, as from deprivation, oppression, or terror.
Clearly one can draw individual conclusions of why this definition is interconnected with this segment of the novel. The current war that is taking place in the novel certainly fits the bill of less than favorable conditions with waves of zombified humans consuming millions of human lives across the globe. All of the world is literally in shambles, and by the end of the book the major superpower of China has become a sparsely populated country. In this definition mentioned above, the first statement is "an imaginary place". This can be tied to how the narrator himself feels throughout the novel, and he puts it in words at the end by saying "I thought it was a dream, sometimes it still feels like one". After the devastating toll on human life and the major upheaval of the worlds political system, this "dream" has had a more than tangible effect on human history and everyday life. The world was certainly full of terror and oppression and situations that usually did not have a positive outcome.
This novel most definitely shows us how the world can pull together when the entire race is under attack. It has a certain light of optimism that is reaching to tell us that in desperation, the human soul will show kindness over selfishness and hate.
