Question

Which excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country" reflect the theme of the psychological alienation caused by war?

Answer 1

Answer:

"He had lived a very long time with death and was a little detached. We were all a little detached, and there was nothing that held us together except that we met every afternoon at the hospital."

Explanation:

The above excerpt shows how the individuals involved in the war were alienated by the situation, the environment in which they live and the whole experience of war that they went through. Those involved had to deal constantly with death and destruction and this influenced them, left them withdrawn and distant from each other, preventing an emotional attachment from being stimulated between them. This was fundamentally misunderstood by them, who at the same time that they distanced themselves sought contact.
