Good Morning Midnight never directly mentions impending war or politics, but the disenfranchised main character Sasha Jansen, personalizes how a fascis temperament shows up in ordinary people one meets in everyday life.The degree of delight her employer 'Mr. Blank' takes in humiliating her--and forcing her to say he is right, is sadistic and done for his own self aggrandizement. The setting is 1937--the year of the Paris World Exposition--a last ditch attempt to build solidarity between and among European Nations. But the German Pavilion showcased war planes and the movie "Triumph of the Will," while, in the Spanish Pavilion Picasso premiered his painting 'Guernica' to depict the terror of Hitler bombing the small town in Spain to help out the dictator Franco.
