    All Quiet On The Western Front Suffering Analysis

    Since he is one the intellectual path and university bound. At the beginning of the war he starts to shift to where the id becomes a driving force for how he acts. This is shown during basic training when he beats up Himmelstoss (Remarque pg 48-50). While Paul feels some sorrow for his actions he sees them as justified and he believes that he was in the right, while Himmelstoss got what he deserved due to how he treated the soldiers. After this incident Paul starts to listen to his id more and more. When he is on the front he uses the id as a way to cope with what he is seeing and what he is doing (Watson). When his primal instincts come out and he is listening to the id he does things that appeal to his pleasure seeking side. This is shown when he sleeps with the French women even though they are enemies (Remarque pg 150). When he commits these crimes (sleeping with the enemy and beating up Himmelstoss) he is not thinking of whether or not his actions are right he is just thinking about how much better they make him feel. When he felt better after he and his friends taught Himmelstoss a lesson and sleeping with the French women, were key examples of him being controlled by the id. His other actions are his defense mechanisms kicking in…

    All Quiet On The Western Front Quotes Analysis

    Paul’s thoughts on his youth are “And even if these scenes of our youth were given back to us we would hardly know what to do.” An immense amount of Paul and other soldiers’ youth was taken away from them too soon, even if these scenes of youth were given back to them they could not regain the old intimacy with these scenes. This quote also shows Paul’s loss of innocence. Paul has become wiser during the war, but this wisdom is leaving him with no hope in his future. Paul also says that if the scenes of their youth were given back to them “...it would be like gazing at a photograph of a dead comrade…” This quote shows how much Paul misses his youth but there is no way for him to connect with it. Youth and innocence is nowhere to be found for Paul and other…

    Paul's Case and Metamorphosis Comparison

    Cather's and Kafka's works share a common theme that creates a powerful message to their readers. Alienation is the theme that runs throughout both of these short stories. Paul is emotionally alienated from his family and peers, which may have led to his eventual suicide. Paul loathes his life on Cordelia Street where, according to him, the people look like their homes, ordinary and middle class. His contempt is demonstrated in his lack of concern for his education, his teachers, fellow students and his home life. He steals money and runs away to New York City. His behavior is typical of a person who has a psychological disorder and/or inferiority complex, and often attempts to compensate this frailty by being rude and aggressive toward others. People with this ailment often are loners and avoid situations where they may feel humiliated. Paul submerges himself in the arts observing those who participate, and this unhealthy escape eventually leads to his demise.…

    How Has The War Changed Paul's Life

    As they perish in the war it is shown that Paul loses some of what makes him human as said in the book “I am very quiet. Let the months and years come, they can take nothing from me, they can take nothing no more. I am so alone, and so without hope that I can confront them without fear. The life that has borne me through these years is still in my hands and my eyes. Whether I have subdued it, I know not. But so long as it is there it will seek its own way out, heedless of the will that is within me”, (Remarque 295). With nothing to comfort Paul at the end of the war. It makes him say that he is now alone, and has nothing to give, and nothing can be taken from him, and earlier in the novel when Paul is sitting on the toilet with his friends socializing about the war. Just so they could stay sane throughout the…

    John Steinbeck's All Quiet On The Western Front

    He saw his friend Kemmerich get wounded and die right in front of him; he was told that the military was an honor and a great place to be, and now his best friend was dead. This made Paul begin to dislike his former teachers, as well as his commanding officers, especially when they just took away the body of one of the closest friends he had in order to replace it with someone else who had become wounded. This started Paul thinking that he was nothing more than a number. Seeing new recruits only worsened his hatred for his new life. Seeing them come in such big numbers made him think that if he died, there would be two more to replace him, rendering his existence meaningless. He already thought his life was meaningless since he had not yet lived, being so young. He believed that his life was in the hands of people like his drill sergeant, Himmelstoss, who had humiliated him in the past. Thinking that his higher ups thought nothing of him and did not care for him or his comrades, he took matters into his own hands and got his friends to take revenge against Himmelstoss, beating and whipping him when he least expected…

    Exploring Relationships in Maestro

    Throughout the book, Paul’s attitude towards Keller changes many times usually as a direct result of the way Keller treats him. For example, when Keller throws away one of Paul’s manuscripts, Paul fiercely hates him but when Keller surprisingly says that Paul should have won the music competition, Paul once again feels genuine affection for him. These changes in feelings by Paul show that he is a character who often lets his heart rule his head, and that his behaviour is very often dictated by his emotional condition.…
