Violet Evergardenis one such anime that can make almost anyone cry. It is about a child born into a wartorn world who gets turned into a war machine. Years of dehumanization and emotionlessness cannot be solved in an instant.
That’s where the story of the titular protagonist begins. However, the series is not just about Violet discovering the meaning of life; it’s much more than that. It’s about her living the life that she missed out on.
How Violet Evergarden lived through the lost art of letters
Letters play a major role throughout the story of Violet Evergarden. This lost art of letter writing is what helps Violet come to terms with herself by experiencing the feelings of others. It is because of letters thatViolet learns how to express herselfas well.
Violet was stripped of her emotions and her childhood just to be turned into a tool for the nation’s military. A child soldier who only knows how to effectively take lives. But the endless killing spree took her humanity, leaving her devoid of any empathy or emotions. She did not even know what General Gilbert meant when he told her to live and be free and that he loved her.

But how would Violet, who has only ever known violence and being enslaved, know about living, freedom, and war? That’s where letters come in. It is by experiencing the lives of others that Evergarden can ever understand her own life.
Violet Evergarden lived a hundred lives through the letters she wrote
Emotions are almost impossible to describe in words and Violet understands this through a trial and error process. In order to make the receiver feel the intended emotions, blunt truth does not always work. But in the same way, flattery and false words are also easily detectable.
