Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

War Horse is a classic tale focusing on the bond between a boy and his horse during WWI. Character traits are rooted in personality, loyalty, and historical context. There’s no sign of forced diversity or ideology overriding the natural narrative. This one’s about grit, love, and endurance, rather than boxes ticked.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The novel upholds traditional virtues: loyalty, sacrifice, family, and honor. No attempt to subvert gender norms, rewrite history, or dunk on religion or traditional values. If anything, it romanticizes the past and sees the ordinary heroism in farmers and soldiers without any modern reimaginings.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no ideological monoculture here. Different viewpoints are respected, from soldiers on all sides to civilians caught in war. The book’s message is humanistic, focusing on shared suffering and hope instead of pushing a contemporary agenda or mocking traditional values.
