heroarms The Code Hero in A Farewell to Arms

Hemingway's Code Hero's Farewell Weapon Ernest Hemingway is a famous American writer in the 20th century and his novels are centered on personal experiences and emotions. He is one of the writers "The Lost Generation". Since he could not deal with the postwar America, he introduced a new writing role called "Code Hero." As everyone knows, Hemingway concentrates his novel in a code hero surrounding their tragic mistake and its surroundings.

In Hemingway 's novel "Weapons by Hemingway' s Farewell", Frederic Henry became a codename hero. At the end of the book, his beliefs and values ​​were changed to the characteristics of the code hero, and Catherine Berkeley was a code hero. Code hero obeys existentialism. Code hero will also try to enrich their lives, and Frederick's behavior seems to show similar desire at the end of the novel. At the beginning of the novel, Frederick Henry's idea was blinded by the pleasure of the senses, so he could not control himself. He has some features of the code hero, but his way of thinking is not completely a character of the code hero. After meeting Catherine Berkeley, he began to learn to train himself. Henry drank too much wine and a rogue at a brothel near his own town. Whatever he wants, he can not control his life. During a long stay at Ospidale Maggoire, he learned more about Catherine.

Through his setup, Hemingway revealed these three code heroes. Frederick in a farewell weapon is a tough code hero when faced with danger. Nick in "Big Double Heart River" is a hero of a codenamed name, isolating himself from a person and healing his body and spiritual wounds using nature. He realized that life is meaningless, he can still manage dealing with death and depression, and put pressure on this dark and lonely world. The function of these code heroes is reflected in Hemingway's own life. In a sense, each of these three hero's lives and stories is an autobiographical life of Hemingway's own life.
