Wound Emotions In Tim O Brien's Novel

408 Words2 Pages

The attitude of the novel is varying, and as expected of any good novel, there are many different parts, with the ability to provoke a myriad of profound emotions. In the first third of the novel, the reader is just beginning to acquaint themselves with the different characters. Furthermore, the abrupt changes in setting could give even the most placid individual whiplash. The main feeling that comes across is empathy. The Parisian people are living in the most destitute conditions with nothing to eat and no place to escape to. Furthermore, the money that does exist is being funneled into war debts, and the rich hoard it as they please. This initially makes the reader feel sorrow towards the people. The people however, also feel sorry for

  • The Emotions In The Things They Carried By Tim O Brien

    976 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Feelings They Carried War is a repugnant event full of bloodshed and massacre, yet people expect nothing less than nonpareil patriotism from a soldier when he gets drafted. For better or worse, a drafted soldier must legally submit to war regardless of personal thoughts concerning the war or any plans they may already have for their future. However, people still expect euphoria and jubilation from a man whose entire life has been revised in a split second. Sure enough, not every soldier has these powerful feelings, and in the novel The Things They Carried, Tim O'Brien highlights and humanizes men who have feelings that have been labeled as eccentric by society. He attempts to justify, through the actions of himself and other men, why war

  • Compassion In Tim O Brien's The Plague

    1116 Words  | 5 Pages

    It is easy, and sometimes simplest, to fall into the everyday rhythms of a society and to forget one’s sense of compassion for others. The general working-class in the town of Oran is prone to such emotional detachment, which leads to many people finding themselves lost in the midst of an organized chaos. In the case of Bernard Rieux, it initially appears that he lacks an emotional compass, however, it becomes evident throughout the novel that the doctor is, in fact, empathetic and utilizes such emotional intelligence to determine his professional ethics in relation to the plague. When the narrator, whose identity is concealed at the beginning of the novel, introduces Dr. Rieux as just another worker businessman from the town of Oran

    Whether it was anger from a characters death or fear for a character in danger I experience emotions throughout most stories. This story set me on somewhat of a rollercoaster. It is not a fast paced action novel with evil around every corner yet it still kept me hook. Most survival stories do that to the readers. Although the story was slow paced the writer seems to have been able to make the reader feel for a character the second they have been introduced.

  • Emotional Burdens In The Things They Carried By Tim O Brien

    892 Words  | 4 Pages

    In “The Thing They Carried,” Tim O’Brien describes both the physical and emotional burdens that each soldier had to carry. He describes in details and emphasizes the weight of the physical items that the soldiers had to carry. Although both the tangible and intangible weights are carried by the men, O’ Brien suggests that the intangible weights weighed more heavily on the soldiers and unlike the physical weights, they were not as easily relieved. As the weight of the physical burdens reduced, the emotional burdens of guilt, uncertainty and fear did not diminish but continued to weigh heavily on the soldiers. An analysis between the emotional and physical burdens shows that in Tim O’Brien’s “The Things They Carried,” the concrete items the men

    I also agree with the opinion that suffering might never end, like the novel indicates through imagery at the very end. The author manages to combine happy moments with sad ones even though the sad ones takes the larger share. In addition, he accomplished his aim of having an audience that is glued to the book all along sine it is both engaging and informative. The author has a perception that the world is composed of more bad things than the good ones. This novel will be important to me as I explore the themes of post-apocalyptic fears and human struggles.
