“This examination would not be complete, however, if it did not touch upon a third and colder order that bestows its unique character on our time of change. The growing objectification of our life appears most distinctly in technology, this great mirror, which is sealed off in a unique way from the grip of pain. Technology is our uniform.”(P31)
This is when Ernst Junger is taking about pain, and how as new technology is coming it is make us more harden and resistance to pain. He is trying to explain that as the world moves away from the old traditional values and embrace the new world, with technology, which is make us better sustain pain. The theme that am focusing on is pain. This relates to the “Blue Angle” because it expresses Ernst Junger and Nietzsche’s view of the fact that pain is increasing as we move away from traditional way of thought. The way this relates to Rath in “Blue Angle” is because Rath moves away from the traditional way of being a respectable professor to marrying Lola and ended up endeavoring more pain.
