A Moving Expression of Heroism 
We find in 
A Farewell to Arms
a moving expression of the heroism, idealism, and 
tragedy of war. In addition to the battle scenes, in 
A farewell to Arms
tells about life within the 
warring factions. It describes the bleak features of war and the emotional farewell between 
Henry and his Catherine. Henry is a great soldier. But he basically represents the family man 
who is called on to defend his country and, in so doing, loses his wife. His figures convey a sense 
of grandeur and power, and arouse strong emotions in many spectators, in size, strength, and 
emotional intensity; these figures go beyond real people.
