The Private has no sense of this the reflection of the Private that exists in the Captain’s mind has little to do with the actual Private. The Captain notices the Private’s clothing-the way that the Private’s specific body inhabits the clothes of his soldier’s role-and the Captain feels a medley of intense emotions. The Private thinks of the Captain as something of a natural phenomenon-near him but otherwise unrelated to him. The Captain is obsessed with the Private and wants to be as close to him as possible. For example, in the perspective shift at the end of the novel, the Captain thinks about the Private and the Private thinks about the Captain. When the narrative perspective shifts between characters, it can drastically alter the depiction of those characters.
