From the Paper:
"Jake was a World War I veteran who, sometime during his service, was wounded and left impotent. This enormous defilement to his manhood was a fatal blow to his dignity and self-esteem. He became unsure of how to cope in this new, morally bankrupt, world as numbness, emptiness, and apathy invaded his heart, mind, and soul. Jake was scared of getting hurt, so he avoided personal relationships, alienated himself from people, and stayed on the outside of reality, playing it safe. As one critic described, "The fear is not of hidden presences, but of emptiness, universal absence, oblivion" (Butterfield 197). The daily distractions of company, small talk, food and especially alcohol temporarily eased his mind, but they were only that, temporary."
