Technology and Modernization
Spanning from the early days of the Wild West to the rollicking 1970s, Angle of Repose is a firsthand lesson in the development of the modern era. We see the Industrial Age, which transforms rural America into a manufacturing behemoth. We see the rise of suburbia, which moves the country even further away from its farmland roots. And that's just scratching the surface. Although Lyman Ward isn't exactly enthused about all of these changes, his snarky attitude helps us better understand the consequences of modernization.
Although Lyman criticizes modernization in all of its forms, his beloved grandpa was one of its chief architects, even if he didn't realize it at the time.
In many ways, Rodman and Shelly represent everything Lyman hates in 1970 about the new generation: their radical politics, their free-spirited nature, and their absolute rejection of everything that came before them.
