He is with family but he doesn"t feel he belongs there. Like various authors ernest hemingway tried to portray his own life after he came back from war throughout the character of harold krebs. Krebs believes in the truth, people around him force him to lie. The story precisely manifests the conflict between krebs value, which has dramatically changed after his war experience and society expectation toward him to conform to its traditional values. Eventually to maintain his existence krebs has to choose isolation by detaching himself from social relations, love, religion and ambition. Ernest hemingway explored the moments of his personal life and the same struggle he had experienced in his home town after returning from world war i throughout harold krebs character.
