    The address' written by Marga Minco is a story of human predicament that follows war.

    The war
    affected the city a lot and therefore Mrs S had to move along with her daughter. So she handed
    over all her precious items to Mrs Dorling, which included all of her costly silver cutlery,vases
    and antique plates.
    The war was over and everything was back to normal. But the narrator's mom that is Mrs S had
    passed away. This left the narrator in a depressed state. Once she came back to town, she
    wanted to go to Mrs Dorling's house to see her mom's belongings.
    Once she visited her house, the woman showed no sympathy to the narrator. She behaved in a
    very bad manner. She didn't let the narrator get into her house. Therefore the story shows how
    war brings a dehumanising effect on human beings.
