Yeah i think he was numb to life and he started to realize and became upset.

I agree. I feel like he regretted life to such a drastic extent that he became apathetic regarding his life and those who cared about him.

I think that he was deinitely numb to life. I think that was a similarity between Hemingway and The Wasteland. Both have kind a "drifting"..

..tone to them. I think that this was probably what many authors of this time identified with because it seems like such a common theme.

You can see that theme in a lot of literature from this time period, especially in countries that were involved in the war. It really...

devastated much of Europe and America, and people as a result felt hopeless and lost.
