Azar

 Azar is a minor character in the novel. The author tries to pay some attention to that character, but his role is not as important, as funny. He possesses himself as a strong man that can protect not just himself, but also his country. He uses his humor as a benevolent-mocking attitude towards something, aimed at exposing, or physical or verbal action, which aims to laugh. The basis is the opposition of several parts of being captured by a humorist from the context of historical development.

At the far left of the line, Azar and Norman Bowker and Mitchell Sanders waded along the edge of the field closest to the river. They were tall men, but at times the muck came to midthigh, other times to the crotch. Azar kept shaking his head. He coughed and shook his head and said, "Man, talk about irony. I bet if Kiowa was here, I bet he'd just laugh. Eating shit—it's your classic irony."

Azar had some problems with his health. He moved to the dike and sat holding his stomach. His face was pale. He finally demonstrates his character in the situation with Kiowa. Typically, a person who has fallen into tragic circumstances is in a state of health shock, and witnesses are in a state of stress or injury. Sometimes, people who have been witnesses, murders and torture can also be in a state of shock. Therefore, those who provide first aid victims need to know the signs, the fact that a person has survived or is experiencing tragic circumstances, as well as signs of a person's condition at the moment (shock, trauma or stress). This moment of remorse proves that a breaking point is possible even for soldiers who use cruelty as a defense mechanism.
