A Separate Peace Ch. 10

QUOTE
"I didn't care because it had nothing to do with me. And I didn't want to hear any more of it. Ever.

DESCRIPTION
This quote characterizes Gene as an unbelievably selfish person. Gene cannot even listen to a mentally unstable person tell a story. It seems as though Gene's loyalty is to Finny; I am not sure if this is Gene's idea of repaying Finny or just Gene's wierd way of reparing the relationship. At first Gene is sympathetic to Leper then he pushes him off a chair; then he goes walking with him only to completely blow him off when he tries to say something. Gene seems to be having mood swings which are somewhat unexplained.

QUESTION
Is Gene going into the war himself?
