In these arguments and refutations, the conflict between Josephus and his Jewish opponents has shifted to philosophical and theological plains. Josephus, the character, contradicts the repeated assertions of the narrator that the Romans are the implacable foes of the Jews. The assertions are against the backdrop of the description of Roman atrocities against the Jewish citizens and the anti-Jewish undercurrent in the manner in which Vespasian is to deal with them. Josephus, the character, as discussed in his speech to his Jewish comrades, suggests that the Romans are anything but the implacable enemies of the Jewish nation. It thus seems that the narrator and the character Josephus are apparently at loggerheads. What underpins the opposition between the narrator and the character is the more essential conflict between reality and appearance in the War.
