The Things They Carried Why does O'Brien go back and forth on whether he killed someone in The Things They Carried? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 10:23 Last updated by anonymous on 11 Sep 00:08
The inner turmoil over this incident is what propels a large section of the novel. This is a move away from innocence on the part of the narrator (whom we assume might be O'Brien).
