Death of a Hero (analysis of the extract from the novel)

The war cannot be justified by the progress that is being made and some glorious aims that are set in order to establish peace, save the national minorities, etc. As Voltair once said “:It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.” Even though the war action is praised by the cheerful sounds of the victory parade the tone and the tune of the battle time is rather minor and full of remorse and absolute tragedy as it is showed in the extract from the novel “Death of A Hero” by Richard Aldington.
