- Annotation
- Explores the pregnant opening paragraphs, drawing specific attention to the leaf motif running throughout the novel. Identifies this motif as a potential reference to Kaiser Wilhelm II s glib and inaccurate assurance that the deployed soldiers would be home before the leaves changed in 1914. Proposes the possibility of Henry s immature worldview as a reflection of the Kaiser s overconfidence.
