Quiet on the Western Front

Quiet on the Western Front

 

Paper instructions:
“This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war.”

Write an essay in which you comment on Remarque’s purpose as stated in the novel’s epigraph (on the page facing chapter one and reprinted in italics above). Using examples from the novel, explain how the author questions the nationalist and romantic rhetoric of war, honor and patriotism. Discuss how, according to Remarque, the brutality of war affects soldiers, particularly in the trenches. Use Remarque’s description of a generation who, “even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war,” to support your thesis.
