Character List
Paul Bäumer - A young German soldier fighting in the trenches during World War I. Paul is
the protagonist and narrator of the novel. He is, at heart, a kind, compas-sionate, and sensitive
young man, but the brutal expe-rience of warfare teaches him to detach himself from his
feelings. His account of the war is a bitter invective against sentimental, romantic ideals of
warfare.

Stanislaus Katczinsky - A soldier belonging to Paul's company and Paul's best friend in the
army. Kat, as he is known, is forty years old at the beginning of the novel and has a family at
home
