harsh worlds which they inhabit. They live by a
code of honor, which is why they are viewed as the
heroes throughout the novel. In his novel, A
Farewell to Arms, the characters experience "the
chaotic and brutal world of war" (Warren 35).

sequel to, or the finishing of the World War I.
Although the two wars were in retrospect, very
different, they can be viewed as chapters of the
same war. When evaluating Hitler's rise to power,
there is a definitive link between World War I and
World War II. This same link is evident in the
Treaty of Versailles and the articles therein. At

Lieutenant Henry Italian Army
1,270 words
A Farewell to Arms: The work presented by Ernest
Hemingway was one of enormous magnitude. On the
outside the work is presented as a simple story of
war and love and the details that go along with
the storyline. The simplistic manner in which the
story is unfolded is obviously an attempt to force
the reader to read between the lines. By leaving
the emotions and the motivations for the reader to
interpret, Hemingway is forcing the reader to try
and relate to the characters. I found this to be a
