In <em>The Things They Carried, <\/em>Curt Lemon was also celebrated for being a daredevil with what his fellow soldiers saw as a terrific sense of humor. According to Rat, Lemon once went out to a Vietnamese village, nude except for a mask and full body paint, to go \u201ctrick-or-treating,\u201d bewildering the villagers in the process.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curt Lemon was killed in action when he accidentally stepped on a landmine while he and Rat were goofing off by tossing smoke grenades back and forth. The men even had to retrieve Lemon\u2019s mangled remains out of a tree, during which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/dave-jensen-the-things-they-carried\/\">Dave Jensen<\/a> sang the song \u201cLemon Tree,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/advantages-of-laughing\/\">laughing<\/a> in the face of death once again. Rat tells O\u2019Brien that he wrote a letter to Curt Lemon\u2019s sister, telling her how much he loved her brother. When he didn\u2019t hear back from the sister, Rat was dismayed, then angered. <strong>In the coarse and brutalized language which the men have adopted, he tells O\u2019Brien that \u201cthe dumb cooze\u201d never wrote back.<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Tooth for a Tooth<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>O\u2019Brien, in fact, has his <em>own <\/em>Curt Lemon story in <em>The Things They Carried<\/em>. He recalls an Army dentist who visited the company one day to check in on the men\u2019s teeth. Lemon, for all his bravado, fearlessness, and exploits in combat, was, for some reason, deathly afraid of going to the dentist. When it came time for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-dentist-the-things-they-carried\/\">Lemon to have his teeth examined<\/a>, he fainted.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a man like Curt Lemon in a place like Vietnam, this was a deeply embarrassing episode. He <em>couldn\u2019t <\/em>face the other men after this \u201clapse\u201d in his masculinity unless he made things right. So that evening, he went into the dental tent complaining of a toothache and insisted that the dentist extract what was, in fact, a <em>healthy <\/em>tooth.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although in great physical pain, Curt Lemon in <em>The Things They Carried<\/em> was in bright spirits the next morning. He had performed his penance and avenged the dishonor he\u2019d done to himself by fainting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is Curt Lemon in The Things They Carried?
