The End of Illusion: In Pharaoh's Army
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing Tobias Wolff's memories of his time in Vietnam in the time of the Tet offensive. One of the themes evident throughout the book is the death of illusion. Wolff joined the Army for the wrong reasons, and he is disillusioned when he hears veterans fearing their return to Vietnam. He realizes after the Tet offensive that he likely had been in conversation with a Vietcong at a pre-Tet celebration; he realizes on his return that there is much about his father that is far different than he had remembered. Illusions fell away before leaving, while in Vietnam and particularly on return. Bibliography lists 1 source.
