All Quiet on the Western Front
How does Paul feel a kinship with Gerard Duval even though they are enemies?
None
None
Paul has just killed Gerard. Paul ends up feeling profound guilt and closeness with him. He calls him "comrade", Paul sees him as a brother. Paul thinks they share a common bond, a bond greater than he shares with people at home. The dead man could well have been him. Paul thinks they are brothers just merely trying to survive.
