"I want what you want. There isn't any me any more. Just what you want." Page 106
So this is a classic love and war. He is torn between Catherine and serving his country
"You'll never get married. . . . You'll fight before you'll marry. . . . Fight or die. That's what people do. They don't marry." Page 108
I don't think it could get any more reality of war than this. You're going to die, you can't have love forever, soon it'll be all over.
"Life isn't hard to manage when you've nothing to lose." Page 137
Reality of war and loneliness. If you don't have anything to live for, why not take the risk?
"Perhaps wars weren't won anymore. Maybe they went on forever." Page 118
Grim reality of war, it never truly ends until one side stops and leaves. Even then, the effects last forever.
