    Ernest Hemmingway favors the topic of war in many of his works, and A Farewell to Arms is no exception to this. The setting is masterfully used to portray the conflict’s intense violence and sense of disbelief, frailty and loss that come with war. Hemmingway also makes great use of symbolism in the novel, using conflict between the plains and the mountains to represent danger versus safety, as well as the rain suggesting impending doom. Frederic Henry, the main character, leaves the war a…

    The simplistic and transparent writing of Ernest Hemingway is distinctly shown in his novel, A Farewell To Arms.

Syntactical imitations such as polysyndeton and anaphora by Hemingway give the novel a monotonous feel for the reader. The imagery shown in the first chapter establishes a somber and dim feeling for the…

However, as the book progressed, Henry gradually learned how to be a “Hemingway Hero”, and he eventually progressed to the point where he completely embodied all that is expected of…

    throughout the book, it changes. In the beginning of the novel I felt that Henry neither had a positive or negative reaction to the war until his injury. Towards the end of the novel, Henry no longer wants to participate in the war and is no longer interested in receiving a medal for recognition of being injured simply because at the time of the injury he was not engaging in a heroic act. Henry takes the “nothing is worse than war” side of the argument in Chapter IX. I believe that Hemingway…
