Hemingway Soldiers Home Analysis
James Connors
Assignment #1
Hemingway’s ‘Soldiers Home’ is about a man named Harold Krebs. He was a soldier in WWI, who came home after the rest of the soldiers had returned post war to a hero’s welcome. However, he fulfilled his enlistment some time later in 1919- no accolade, no cheering, no encouragement or appreciation for his exploits during the war. His only comfort was to read about the campaigns he engaged in, to add validity of the atrocities he committed during war.
Krebs was raised in a religious family, and emulated from a Methodist High School. However, post war he did not believe in God. He likes women but doesn’t want to go through the colloquy to have one. He wanted to tell others of his war experiences but no one
