Development of the Characters Frederique Henry and Catherine Barkley in A Farewell to Arms
Ernest Hemingway?s novel, A Farewell to Arms, portrays an extraordinary story of love between Frederique Henri ? an American ambulance driver ? and Catherine Barkley, an English nurse, during the World War I in the Italian front. Jackson Benson asserts that A farewell to Arms is a story of developing consciousness and has more of a ?modern morality drama? than of ?a love story? or ?war story?. Frederique Henri went to a war that did not have anything with him (Ernest Hemingway 37). He was enlisted as an ambulance driver in the Italian army when the United States didn?t yet enter the war. Henri met young and beautiful Catherine Barkley who also had volunteered to the Italian front. Love and war circumstances as well as other factors presented these two lovers a great opportunity for growth and acquisition of self-awareness or better understanding of the world. At the end of the story Catherine Barkley tragically dies during labor and Henri, beaten by circumstances walks resigned in the rain. Ultimately, there is no redemption for fighting the war or fighting for love. Although Catherine Barkley Catherine Barkley remains almost constant during the course of the novel, my contention is that contention is that the character Frederique Henri develops through the narrative. In the beginning Henri starts as irresponsible, immature, self-centered, unconcerned about the consequences of his actions, but at the end of the story he is responsible, mature, altruist, and fully aware of his self and the war environment. The altruistic Catherine begins the novel as a very responsible, altruist, and extraordinarily kind and beautiful young nurse; she ends the novel in some way irresponsible and physically changed as result of the pregnancy.
At the beginning of the novel the Character Frederic Henri shows great irresponsibility and selfishness. He engages in promiscuous affairs with unknown girls in every city he travels. Henri had ?adventures? with occasional girls in many places, including ?Milano, Firenze, Roma, Napoli?? (Hemingway 13). These affairs probable involved unprotected sexual contact in a time that antibiotics weren?t discovered yet. Sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea were very common (14), thus Henri was careless by posing his health in danger. Moreover, Frederic Henri shows irresponsibility by entering a war that doesn?t have anything with him (37). A war is a very serious matter that usually has devastating consequences in the existence of an individual.
I would like to recieve and outline. The citation mus to be this format (Hemingway 19) for example. Or Hemingway points ...... (19).
