"'She upset Billy simply by being his mother. She made him feel embarrassed and ungrateful and weak because she had gone to so much trouble to give him life, and to keep that life going, and Billy didn't really like life at all."' pg 102
Just when I thought I had figured Billy out, he shows deeper reasoning than sane people. I've never been anywhere near a war and I still don't give my mom any credit for simply being my mother. Anways, I am adding depression to Billy's list of psychological disorders. Most war men come back feeling manly and tough and rugged, but not Billy. He just hates life. He always seems to hate love. Everyone knows mothers don't think like that. Just as Billy refuses to feel the extreme emotions attached to death, he rejects the thought of love. He doesn't even acknowledge his mother's love. This worries me. I hope this isn't some suicide novel.
