how are morals and ethics shown in cold mountain

This theme is vividly articulated in the relations between Ada and Inman: they fell in love with each other, but the war separated them. It was enough for them to have a few meetings to realize that they don’t want someone else for each other. They have not seen each other for many years, but the reader sees how warmly each of them remembers about each other, how carefully they keep in their souls their memories. Ada has many opportunities to make her life easier, if she gets married, and Inman has a lot of opportunities to have other women. But they keep their troth, the promise which was said not with the words, but with their souls.
