lgbasallote · Answer

okay. im done doing my thing...anyway as i was saying... the quote means that the major was no longer able to give himself up. This is because, he recently suffered the loss of a loved one. He was just newly married and suddenly she died. The major gave himself to his loved one fully. In other words, he gave himself up to his loved one. However, when she died, the major lost a big part of himself, thus he can no longer give himself up to anyone ever.

does that help?

"i am utterly unable to resign myself" literally means "I absolutely cannot give myself up" by the way
