Gregor's eyesight begins to fail him. As his former self, he would spend hours looking out the window, studying, and reading; however, he now finds nothing more than a skewed perception of reality when doing these things. The whole worlds now looks and tastes different for Gregor. The world's perception of him drives him away, and now his perception of the world drives him away even further.

The Price Of Objectivity (crit
366 Words - 2 Pages.... a perfect example. He went off to fight in the first World War in an effort to find himself, but came back a shell of a man. Not only did he fail in finding himself, he lost nearly everything he had. His ideals were shattered, his
genitals left on a battlefield in Europe with his ability to be subjective and involve himself emotionally with the world around him. His life (as viewed in his narrative) is simply moving from one place to the next, with no deep thought about the people he meets. Merely a simple statement of the facts.
Objectivity as a whole depends upon distancing a person from the events and simply watching with a clinical disattachment as Jake did. And ....

All Quiet On The Western Front

a group which does understand the truth as Baumer has experienced it.

he becomes alienated from his former, traditional, society, Baumer
simultaneously is able to communicate effectively only with his
military comrades. Since the novel is t ....
