Her name was Agnes von Kurowsky and she was a nurse at the hospital where he stayed in Milan. He proposed to her and she eventually accepted his proposal, but not very long later she left because she found a new man.

He met someone who was going to be his first actual wife in Chicago after returning home from the war. He was working at the Toronto Star at the time. Her name was Hadley Richardson. Once they were married they went to Paris for a while and continued working for the Toronto Star. Hemingway’s first child was born in 1923 to Hadley and Ernest.

This is why Hadley and Hemingway divorced, but Hemingway didn’t take long to marry again. Once his first divorce was finalized he was already married. He was working on a book of short stories at this time called, Men Without Women. Pauline became pregnant and they moved back to America. Their first son together was named Patrick Hemingway.

It was not only controversial because Hemingway was a depressed drunkard, but it was controversial because it doesn 't glorify war; it shows the brunt reality of the Great War. He provides the evidence of his depression through his writings by allowing his characters to be placed in horrid situations.

Symbolism has a intricate way of giving another meaning to a device. Usually a component of a book or novel, it can set up the way the reader perceives the story. In the book The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne, the author, uses a symbol of a forest in order to portray several key events and to display a few fundamental thoughts from certain characters. In this novel the forest represents hidden sin and the ramifications of evil. The symbol is significant to the work as a whole by reason that it illustrates hidden sin, which is the plot for the duration of the story.

Another symbol is Aylmer's dream. His dream can be considered as a foreshadow. He has a dream in where he is during the procedure of taking the birthmark out of Georgiana's face, but he cannot do it. He starts to cut deeper and deeper with no success. We as readers know that that action of cutting and cutting will lead to fatal end, but we do not know if Aylmer knows it. He probably knows it consciously or subconsciously. The dream shows Aylmer's arrogance, his obsession about science and pursuit of perfection, because he ignores the dream and its connotations.

A Farewell to Arms is one of Ernest Hemingway’s most admirable novels. It has received millions of positive and negative criticisms. It is also the most regarded American literary exemplary. The story is told from first person perspective. The perspective Frederic an American ambulance driver in the Italian army during War. He falls in love with an English nurse, Catherine, and he experiences the pain and loss in war and in life. Even though it is one of the most revered books in American literature, there has been many criticism about Hemingway’s portrayal of gender roles. According to some critics, he portrays women as weak, needy, and submissive, like Catherine. For men, he portrays complex and in depth characters worthy of the readers attention, especially the enigmatic protagonist Frederic Henry. Mostly, he portrays the male characters as dominating and womanizing. Many other critics believed that during war, man were forced to compete to prove their masculinity.

In WWI nearly 37 million people died, Ernest Hemingway was not one of them. Hemingway was an ambulance driver in the Italian army until he was eventually injured by an artillery shell. Once Hemingway returned home he began writing a book based on his experiences of WWI. That book is A Farewell to Arms. In 1929 he published this book and it was met with mixed feelings and calls for it to be banned. I believe that A Farewell to Arms should not be banned because it brings to light many different viewpoints about the war as well as strong literary strategies beneficial to good writing.
