All Quiet on the Western Front Erich Maria Remarque
Loss of Humanity
"I will fight against this, that has struck us both down; from you, taken life - and from me - ? Life also. I promise you, comrade."
Adam Farabaugh, Sam Wilson, Sam Flowers, Chris Braun
In this quote Paul shows that even though he has survived in the trenches he feels as dead as Duval. Also the fact that Paul is having a conversation with a dead man shows that he has lost all sense of humanity.
With the theme the loss of humanity, Remarque is showing the effects of war can have, not only physically but emotionally and mentally.
