A good novel written by a good author conveys emotion to the reader. A Farewell To Arms by Ernest Hemingway clearly portrays that war creates disaster, chaos and heartbreak. With each page turn, the reader feels what the characters feel. The reader has, at the beginning, a nonchalant attitude toward the war because that is what Frederic Henry feels. By book three, the reader feels disgusted toward war and the army because of the imagery, tone, and deep inner thoughts of Frederic. The reader is forced to think: how can Frederic uphold the same soldier’s code he stared with, when everything had changed? In the early chapters of the novel, Frederic seems to be a man who walks through life without really living. Little by little, the reader catches a glimpse into the depths of Frederic Henry. He is a man of great competence and remarkable insight. His views on war turn 180 degrees.
