Jake? s i9000 willingness to endure and forgive Omfattande? s promiscuity and cheating is an indication of the skewed values in the age. It absolutely was an? anything at all goes? age right after the first warfare, and Jakes message to Brett seems to be the same: nearly anything goes so long as you eventually come back to me. Jake is forced to recognize living in this seemingly horrible way for several reason. This individual a weakened person socially, but he can also literally disabled as a result of an injury that he suffered during the warfare.
He endured an njury that induced him to be castrated. The first tip of this is usually when he says to Georgeette?
