The irony of nature
In Leave the World Behind, the author's primary focus is to show the vanity of life. The book shows how the world is ending, and people are about to leave their precious possessions behind. When Rose locates the house in the woods, she had seen before, the author hints that it is empty. The owners are trapped in San Diego and will never show up again because the world is about to be destroyed by the floods. A state of emergency has been declared, and even the US President leaves his luxurious state lounge to take refuge in a banker. George and Ruth are trapped in the island vacation house while floods destroy their luxurious home and other possessions in the city. Therefore, life is ironic because a man works so hard to achieve wealth over the years, but the property is destroyed in seconds.
