520			_a"Blackguard" by Maxwell Bodenheim is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Carl Felman, a young man burdened by his aspirations as a poet while grappling with familial obligations and the harsh realities of life in a midwestern city. Themes of identity, rebellion, and the quest for meaning seem to surface as Carl navigates his feelings of alienation and disillusionment. At the start of the novel, Carl arrives at a train station, showcasing his weary and downtrodden demeanor, stemming from a long journey and lack of resources. He recounts his past experiences as a timid poet during high school, hated by peers but praised by teachers, as well as the oppressive expectations placed on him by his middle-class Jewish parents, who desire him to pursue a stable career rather than indulge in his artistic aspirations. The narrative paints Carl as a restless soul caught between the pursuit of his poetic dreams and the relentless pressure of societal norms, culminating in his decision to join the army as a desperate bid for escape. The opening portion presents a poignant exploration of Carl's internal struggle, setting the stage for a deeper examination of his choices and desires throughout the novel.
