How does the major’s behavior represent the modernist writer’s take on life?

an important theme of modernism was disillusionment. most modernist writers felt disillusioned in postwar america because of the destruction and devastating loss of human life. ernest hemingway represented this theme of disillusionment in his short story "in another country" through the character of the army major. the major’s character painted a bleak, disillusioned picture of war, through which there was no positive outcome, no matter what side won or lost. war represented loss to the major, and not even the technological advancements that heal serious wounds could convince the major otherwise.

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
