the things they carried-3
In this part of the book he talks more about Martha and his love for her but now he hates her because he loves her but he doesnt think she loves him back. He took all of the letters from her that he got and he burned them. it is a love hate type of thing because he wants to be with her so bad but he cant because hes in the war he wants to hate her but he cant because he knows he truly love hers with all his heart.

You should analyze this more, though I know it's frustrating as the chapter does drone on a bit. What is the source of this love then this hate. Does the soldier eventually grow to hate Martha because she is a reflection of a life that he has left behind???
ReplyDeletehe has a love hate relationship about it because at the same time of him loving her and he wants to be with her he wants to forget about her because she is constantly in his head and he misses her so much
