Fuse Theme of The Home


It's not a coincidence that many of the characters in Fuse mutter the phrase, "home Sweet home" to themselves. Unfortunately, there really isn't any "home" in this novel. While the wretches certainly feel more comfortable outside of the Dome, they were stripped of their real homes and have been forced to either live nomadically, or in an impoverished state.

On the other hand, the people inside the Dome live comfortably inside a bubble that they like to call home — but in reality, the inside of the Dome is synthetic and artificial.
