Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 6 page paper examining
five of the Hemingway codes in this novel. Hemingway assigned life to a series of codes by
which individuals lived, either serially or concurrently. He saw lives as compartmentalized
with bits and pieces fitting into neat categories but never attaining more than only
momentary joy. A Farewell to Arms is alternately hopeful and hopeless; the hopeless state
wins in the end, as it must in Hemingway's painful perspective. The paper uses quotes to
illustrate the five codes. Bibliography lists 1 source.
