Throughout the year I found out a similar character between this story and other book, "The stranger" by Albert Camus. From the stranger like from this story, the character also faces the problem with his girl friend and relation ships. The first corresponding thing we can find is parent problem. The main character from this story didn't see his dad in his entire life and from The Stranger, main character only go visits his mom during funeral.
Second thing that corresponds is relationship between a girl. The main character from the story I’m reading right now, struggles with relationship because of the decision of marriage. Woman side prefers to postpone the marriage because of the reckless attitude of the main character and the war. In "The Stranger" main character has a characteristic that only concern about his own happiness and tendency of ignorant toward his environment. Because of that characteristic, he has a problem with relationship. He doesn't know how to love the girl. And the result ended up having an incomplete relationship.
Third thing that corresponds is character's attitude. They both don't deeply concern about their girl's mind. Story that I am reading right now shows man being addicted to girl. Despite the fact that it is a war time and the women clarify about the marriage issue, the main character simply shows a reckless attitude. In "The stranger" woman ask a man to marry him but due to the ignorant attitude they couldn't see the final destination.
