Ameerika kirjandus alates I maailmasõjast kuni tänapäevani.
It shows the
soldiers so as they are/were. Men do not control fate, chanche does. Any war is irrational, it is
like a wave. Soldiers are just molcules of water in it, moving randomly. They do not
understand what is happening. Most of the soldiers are young boys. It's more realistic ´, even
with elements of naturalism. Nature is often shown as hostile and men behave like beasts on
their basic instincts, mortality is part of exsistance. In war men a re stripped of their humanity.
Symbolically their stripped naked before death. Not only naked in the sense of clothes but
also in the sense of moraility. Things started to change in the 40s. Another lost generation
starte to appeare. Existentialism had to do with it life has less meaning and it consits of
choices, it's up to us do make the right ones and if we choose the right ones are lives may be
authentic. Everyone is alienated, there's no real communication
