World War I. Over the course of the novel, Frederic undergoes a great deal of change, which alters his worldview and causes him to abandon the war, to make a
"separate peace" (Hemingway 243). The novel pivots around Henrys personal growth and its ramifications, and, in so doing, provides a serious anti-war statement against the "Great War" and its

novel, Frederic is a man who has already been alienated by the war. He seems hollow, interacting with his fellow soldiers, but remaining aloof from them as well. To Frederic,
