Occurence Character analysis

Authors note: Here is a character analysis that I wrote after reading Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge. The man in this analysis has just come back from war, his morals and way of thought have been effected  while experiencing war. The point of this character analysis is to talk about how warfare can widdle away at your mind and morals. 


A man is sitting at home, a single lamp is on. He holds a can of  beer, occasionally bringing it to his lips. Wearing the pajamas and robe he has been in for the past week, he silently glares out the window at the stars and the moon, thinking about how his life is falling apart. His morals and way of life have been different ever since he came back from Afghanistan.  His wife and him no longer speak to each other, in fact she is off to her mothers house right now. He glares silently as her car pulls out of the driveway. He sit and thinks, he quietly sighs as the snow flakes stick to the window pane. That sigh was the only noise the man made.  He gets up, clicks off the lamp and shuffles to bed.
