"I Never Heard the Blackbird Sing," is metaphorical and refers to the idea that during times of conflict and turmoil, the beauty and joy in life, like the song of a blackbird, can go unnoticed or unheard. It's a poignant title that reflects the novel's themes and the setting in which it takes place. No one saw his tears, and there was no one to share his pain. The feeling that no one cared caused even a darker, sinister and oppressive cloud to descend upon him. The pain inflicted with the precision of a surgeon's knife burned deeply within his already tortured soul. Get over it, the wound will heal, he had heard it all before, but after the wound healed, the scar would remain a lifetime to remind him. How does one remove the scars of a tortured past? He had long ago mastered the art of suffering in silence, but he also had learned that silent suffering was a great tormentor.
