Comparison of man's and woman's WWI experience in the works "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque and "Not So Quiet" by Helen Zenna Smith
The aim of this thesis is an analysis and comparison of men's and women's experience from World War I in the works of All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque and Not So Quiet by Helen Zenna Smith. The theoretical part outlines the mentality of the European society before, at the beginning and during the war. The focus then shifts to Western Europe where the everydayness of civilians, trench-fighters, and voluntary women workers is described. The practical part analyses the already mentioned books and compares the experience of both main characters.
