In the passage it talks about “the major’s wife, who was very young and whom he had not married until he was definitely invalided out of the war, had died of pneumonia.” Back then women wouldn’t desire men that were injured at a time of war they were viewed as weak and unattractive, the Major’s wife must have been a very selfless and humble person to have married a man that could provide the same things another man could. Today and back then men that cried were considered weak and they so men would do that in public. “He stood there biting his lower lip. “It is very difficult,” he said. “I can- not resign myself.” He looked straight past me and out through the window. Then he began to cry. “I am utterly unable to resign myself,” The Mayor cried, a BIG scary looking Hawk cried.

    One observation that can be made on Hemingway’s narrative technique as shown in his short stories is his clipped, spare style, which aims to produce a sense of objectivity through highly selected details. Hemingway refuses to romanticize his characters. Being “tough” people, such as boxers, bullfighters, gangsters, and soldiers, they are depicted as leading a life more or less without thought. The world is full of s...

    ... experiences of love with Agnes von Kurowsky. That being said, the two main characters of the text can be psychoanalytically depicted through the use of the id, the ego, and the superego, which helps uncover how complete happiness is unachievable. The protagonist, Fredric Henry could not obtain complete happiness due to the situations he encountered himself in. Catherine also could not acquire absolute happiness because of the loss of her fiancé.

  • In Another Country Analysis

    867 Words  | 2 Pages

    “In Another Country” centers around World War I, and, therefore, provides a more modern take on war than seen in “Coup de Grace”. “In Another Country” also bypasses the glorified images of war, such as battlefields. Instead, Hemingway places this story in a hospital in Milan. While this would seem removed from the war ongoing around them, the war has already affected the people inside the hospital. The removed setting also increases the helplessness of the major, who cannot do anything about his wife passing away, because he believed that the worst was behind him. Meanwhile, “Coup de Grace” focuses on the American Civil War, in the aftermath of a major battle. The resulting “cleanup” of the bodies provides the opportunity for Captain Madwell to find his dying friend. Also, the less advanced medical technology of the mid-1800s means that Sergeant Halcrow is beyond saving, therefore forcing Madwell to give the “kiss of death”. Lack of communication that results from the story being in the Civil War period also creates the cruel ending of “Coup de Grace”, where the field medics arrive a moment too late to save

  • Theme Of Youth Loss And Death In Our Times

    758 Words  | 2 Pages

    Using the matador vignettes, Ernest Hemingway examines the issue of death within war in an indirect style of writing. The goal of the matador is to kill the bull, if he does so the crowd hails him as a victor but if the bull kills the matador then the matador is just replaced with another bullfighter. This is similar to war, if the soldiers kill the enemy then they are victorious but if the soldier is killed then he is replaced with another soldier. This is just one example of the subtle comparisons that can be seen throughout Hemingway’s novel. But really in the end Ernest Hemingway utilized all three of these themes to show subtle messages of life.

  • Ernest Hemingway’s Life Compared to A Farewell to Arms

    1212 Words  | 3 Pages

    Ernest Hemingway used his experiences from World War I to enhance the plot of A Farewell to Arms. Parallels can be drawn throughout the entire novel between Henry's and Hemingway's experiences. Both were Americans serving in the Italian army; both were wounded and went to Milan; both fell in love with a nurse. These many similarities, however, also contain slight differences. There is no real question that Hemingway based events in the novel off of his real experiences, but A Farewell to Arms is by no means an autobiography. The book does not focus on the experience of war. Instead, it is more focused on the after-effects. Minor changes to the events themselves make the novel unique, while the factual basis strengthens the plot with authentic feeling.
