Then a strange moment came, a moment of the kind that determines the fate of nations, because when a crowd loses its fear of an army the world changes.
In Salman Rushdie's "The Enchantress of Florence," a pivotal moment occurs when a crowd overcomes its fear of an army. This shift signifies a turning point that has the potential to alter the course of history. It highlights the power of collective courage and the capacity of people to stand against oppression.
This moment reflects a deeper theme about the relationship between authority and the governed. When individuals feel empowered to challenge their oppressors, it can lead to significant transformations within society and the world at large, illustrating how fear can be the primary barrier to change.
