Crisis and conversion:

While Francis is sick and dreaming, he has images of nature which represent the
happiness and peacefulness. He also has images of war which help him understand
that it isn't the greatest thing… neither is it the most honorable.

Francis has many great conflicts with his father. Francis' father is very
materialistic and possessive. Francis' father did not honorably earn the money,
he bought the "loot" from the crusades for a small price and sold them to their
rightful owners for a much higher price. Father expects a lot of Francis. He
expects Francis to be just like him… a so called businessman, who is profitable,
but not in an honorable way. Francis' father sends him to war so Francis can get
bring his father back a triptych....
