Society's Conformity is a "Soldier's Home"

It may be difficult to adapt to the everyday life of a small town in Oklahoma since the forefront of the First World War. The role of Ernest Hemingway Harold Krebs is more difficult to adapt to family life than most return home soldiers. Krebs is expected to return home after many years of war and return to expectations of society, but there is little time to adapt to life not surrounded by war. Women play an important role in the life of Krebs and have a strong influence on him.

Ernest Hemingway's short story "House of Soldiers" explores the themes of alienation, integration, and compatibility to deal with the influence that the First World War had on the lives of soldiers after returning home. The message of the author is that the experience of war is personal to all soldiers, the war has kept people away from norms and values ​​of civil society, and furthermore they have alienated their families. Alienation means rupture or isolation from others. This theme was explored with a short story by the main character Harold Krebs. The young man came back to Japan after two years of fighting in Germany and France, and thought that his hometown has not changed, he felt alienated like a stranger. He no longer includes social norms and values ​​in civil society, even social etiquette related to romantic relationships.

A serious Hemingway 's "House of Soldiers" and Herman Melville' s "Bartby, Scripner" is a short story about the role he encountered in dealing with society and becoming part of society. Harold Krebs has two distinctly different reasons from Bad Ruby of "Bartle Ruby, Scriber" of "House of Soldiers" and they can not play a role in society. Harold Krebs returned from Germany after years since the end of the war, and all other soldiers have been home all the same since then. To my surprise, he did not want to talk about war. No one was interested in his story when he decided to talk about war. Instead, Wall Street clerk Bartby isolated himself behind the screen of the office, and he did not even want to communicate with the extent of the rejection if he was tempted. Regardless of the reason, these two principals share rejection of work, weakening of life, and eventual rejection of society.
