The jealousy is seen by evolutionary psychologists as an adaptive response and it is therefore useful. Similarly, the jealous individual in the relationship could also cause their partner to commit an infidelity. It is noted that men are more likely to experience jealousy because of their fear of cuckoldry. Women, on the other hand, are worried about sharing or losing their investments and resources. Both men and women have evolved retention strategies to deter mates from infidelity.
Also he then falls in love with IIsa which keeps showing his side of a lover and a man’s man. It again shows his lust and attempt to win her back from when he last saw her and how he just wants to be with her. The man’s man truly is used to show the human condition during and after the war. It is based on lust and greed and only looking out for oneself showing the shallowness of society at the time. Another trait used that is similar to the traits of film noir is that Rick is always in control of the situation.
Not only is loyalty shown through Bruno and Shmuel’s friendship but also shown in Bruno’s father, Ralf. He is faithful to his country throughout the whole story even though his opinion on the war is turning his own wife against him. He realizes this is happening yet he chooses to ignore it and continues on fighting in the war, no matter what it takes. Ralf fixes his marriage problems by agreeing to send his wife and the children away. The value of friendship goes hand in hand with loyalty.
He had loved Martha more than his men, and as consequence Lavender was now dead…” (O’Brien,1990). This epiphany drives Lieutenant Cross to think hard about his situation and make a key decision to focus more on the task at hand and less on his desires. His internal conflict is resolved with burning the pictures and letters of his former love interest. Even though he knows he cannot forget nor will it bring back his lost comrade, he presses forward to become the leader he was entrusted to be. While the conflict of individual vs. self is resolved in this story, the same conflict in “The Raven” is not so easily dismissed.
Nevertheless, he is not as fine as Lyman thought. Even though his brother did his best to help him, Henry could not accept the new awful things he was going trough, therefore he took his own life. Watching someone you love suffering is heart wrenching, especially when nothing can be done to help the situation. Erdrich looks at the trauma of a soldier returning home from war and how their family must cope with his emotional change. The effects of war not only affect the soldier, but also cause an effect on families and loved ones.
When battle breaks out, Himmelstoss pretends to be hurt and hides in order to get out of fighting. He acts as a big, mean, and forceful guy until he feels the same fear and terror as the rest of the soldiers in the trenches do. Himmelstoss spoke about being courageous and how nothing scares him, but once he had to experience war for himself he realized it is not that easy to be
Compare and contrast the presentation of themes of comradeship and and teamwork in Accrington Pals and Journeys End in light of the opinion that 'War required selfless teamwork, courage and a willingness to play by the rules.' In light of Sheriffs view he wanted to create a play depicting the reality of real men, how they behaved, their feelings towards each other and the psychological effects of war. 'War required selfless teamwork, courage and a willingness to play by the rules' To me this idea applies to R.C Sheriffs, Journeys End as it centres around naïve, unquestioning men who fought the war because it seemed the only right and proper thing to do. Being a realist drama, the play is based around psychology rather than action. In this sense, the audience is able to connect with the characters through the dialogue and stage directions.
In All Quiet on the Western Front the protagonist is Paul Baumer because we experience the story from his point of view and thus we sympathize with him. Paul’s situation is troubling because his life and the lives of other soldiers his age “have become a wasteland” (20). War has changed them and the world so much that they don’t really know what they are going to do once the war finishes. They don’t know any trades; all they know is war. The value of their lives was also changed by war.
Henry had joined the military to earn a name amongst other men. Instead he would flee from a battle and cause his own injury. When Henry returned to camp and lied about the nature of his wound, he highly doubted neither his manhood nor his right to behave as pompously as a veteran. Henry’s lack of a true moral sense manifested itself in the emptiness of the honor and glory that he seeks. A great change occurs within him as he fought, he lost his sense of self.
Men in the Vietnam War go through different actions like being ambushed and attacking the enemy which may make them feel different emotionally. These men deal with everyday death and other horrific conditions of the war. The soldiers in the novel The Things They Carried, by Tim O’Brien, have been put through emotional and physical situations in and out of the battle field. To keep themselves from breaking into post traumatic stress or any other kind of emotion, the men joke about death instead of letting it have an effect on them, feel misplaced anger, and ponder over memories to help remember good things. When feeling down one may feel a need to laugh and make jokes about the bad or good situations that are happening.
