ernest hemingway’s “soldier’s home” is a story of a soldier

Ernest Hemingway’s “Soldier’s Home” is a story of a soldier who returns home from World War I as a transformed person. The story depicts his inability to fit back in to the society. Krebs is at home but he doesn’t feel at home. He is with family but he doesn’t feel he belongs there. To maintain his existence he has to choose isolation. Krebs ignores reality around him by detaching himself from social relations, love and ambition. Krebs lost his romanticism during the war. Presumably, the scenes he had encountered in World War I, such as at the battle of Belleau Wood, Soissons, and in the Argonne (l21-122) and the things he had done during those battles traumatized him so that he loses his emotion. After returning home he spends a lot of time watching the girls. Even though he likes watching girls, he avoids any relationship with them because “the world they were in was not like the world he was in.” (123). Before he went to war, “vaguely he wanted a girl but did not want to have to work to get her.” (123).He was a sociable person who used to have interest in love affair. Now that he is home, he is not interested in a love life. He doesn’t want to communicate with people, especially with girls, although “he would have liked a girl if she had come to him and wanted to talk.” (123). He wants to stay away from people and not “go through all the talking” (123). Without communicating with people no relationship can survive. He is afraid that social relationships might provoke a conflict with his value of honesty. For maintain his honesty, he has to stay away from the complication of any relationship. His denial of social relationships makes him an outcast and a total misfit for the society. After coming from war he spends much of his time waking up late, reading books, playing pool, walking around and watching girls across the street (122-123). A soldier needs strong commitment and devotion to his work. But somehow he doesn’t have any interest in these qualities any more
