Philip Roth's ’Indignation

Philip Roth's ’Indignation

Dying stupidly from a bayonet wound because you refuse to submit to any moral order. To end up shredded on the battlefield like a piece of meat because you refused the inculcation of any tradition. Is it worth it? The question echoes the term «indignation» - the feeling of anger that arises from an action that offends the moral conscience, the sense of justice - the title of the late Philip Roth's novel.
