Chapter Three: Weary is Finally Broken

In chapter two, a German unit stumbles upon Roland Weary beating Billy...which Weary did to pretty much everyone back home too.

In this moment, Weary is tremendously tough. But as chapter three progresses, I noticed that Weary was gradually breaking down. After the Weary is forced walk with the other prisoners of war in the German boy's clogs, the only thing he could think about was "...the agony in his own feet. In another instance, he did not resist a German soldier who spat on him, which is completely out of Weary's character.

I think this illustrates how war breaks a man down. The constant death, pain, sorrow, and anger Weary has felt completely changed him into a irreversibly fractured man.
