    The author then presents us with the idea that unchecked emotions prove to be a greater burden than any physical stress, “They carried all they could bear, and then some, including a silent awe for the terrible power of the things they carried” (O’Brien pg. 104). Here the author hints that our protagonists do in fact think of their actions and the repercussions associated, but at this point in the story, no one is willing to open up a discuss how they feel about the war.
