Victory Song functions as a historical artifact of state-sanctioned nationalistic storytelling. Its thirteen segments aim to promote patriotic sentiment and collective identity during a period of total war. Because its primary goal is to bolster national mobilization, it lacks elements necessary for representing diverse identities. The narrative prioritizes reinforcing established social hierarchies and state loyalty over individual ability to act or underrepresented perspectives.
