In Erich Maria Remarque???s classic war novel All Quiet on the Western Front, the experiences of the characters and their relationships to one another provide the basis of the book.  The narrator, Paul Baumer, never fails to describe when a friend, comrade, or enemy soldier is killed within his general vicinity. This map plots the deaths of these characters against a geographical background in the hopes of making the fictional casualties more real to the reader and representative of the realities of war. The deaths, as described by Paul Baumer, are organized in chronological order and according to their relative distance from the front line. The map is a visual representation of the emotional landscape in the novel, which centres on Baumer???s maturation through his experience with comradeship, death, and loss - set against one of the bloodiest wars of the twentieth century. *This map, and the information it contains, is meant for educational / personal uses only.
