After hours of suffering she was delivered of a dead baby. The nurse sent Henry out to get something to eat. When he went back to the hospital, he learned that Catherine had had a hemorrhage. He went into the room and stayed with her until she died. There was nothing he could do, no one he could talk to, no place he could go. Catherine was dead.

II. Analysis of the Pessimism of A Farewell to Arms
A. The background of the novel.
The World War I was a great catastrophe, in which 31 countries and 1.5 billion officers and soldiers were involved, 8.5 million of them died, 22 million wounded and more than 12.6 million common people died in the war. That the war lasted for 51 months led to more than 338 billion dollars economic cost .Writers all over the world condemned this injustice imperialism war. A farewell to Arms, by lively and vivid image and terse and refined language, again showed up that officers and soldiers were tired of war. Therefore, this novel came to be one of representative works of the antiwar stream. Thirty-year-old Hemingway became a literature master, for much good commentary about this novel.
B. The personalities of novels main characters.
Lieutenant Frederic Henry: The protagonist and fairly aloof narrator, Henry is a young American ambulance driver with the Italian army. However, he does not feel strongly about the cause, and certainly is not out for glory. He turns from the horrors of war to a passionate, escapist love affair with Catherine Barkley, and the all-consuming love helps distract him from the brutality around him. Still, he is good at his job; a cool-headed, unselfish man who exercises grace under pressure when he is injured and when he must shoot a deserting engineering officer, Henry fulfills the code of the "Hemingway hero." He makes his "separate peace" when he decides that he no longer has any obligation to the army and that his loyalty is to Catherine.
Catherine Barkley: A British Voluntary Aid Detachment (a second-tier nurse), Catherine is in grief over her fiancé's recent death at the start of the novel. Henry offers a tempting rebound, and she dives into this new diverting love. She later admits that she was slightly "crazy" when she first met Henry, and her behavior backs this up: she gives herself so readily to a near stranger, and her games of flirtation and teasing border on the juvenile. However, she gains some measure of independence later on, as when she helps Henry row the boat across the lake for their escape, but she is typically submissive and eager to please with Henry (thought, to her credit, so is he with her). Like Henry, she believes the world is out to destroy people's happiness.
Lieutenant Rinaldi: Henry's Italian surgeon roommate, Rinaldi is an alcoholic womanizer who

one more comment about the "brief summary". give more to the emotions of the characters, and less to actions.

as i read to this point, i came to notice the great discrepancy of language skills and fluency in different parts of your essay. i did some google search and found that you copied a good deal word by word without citations(which wouldn't matter in this case) from sparknotes. i hope that this is not your school work because this is plagiarism, an academic offense, which would result in an automatic zero and call parents in a high school and academic disciplinary action in an university. plus, this hardly qualifies as an essay, with no quotations from the book to support your points, no real analysis of literary or plot elements and none on character developments, nothing aside from stating events that occurred. you better come up with something better.

if you don't care, the rest of your essay are just straight copies from a good website so there shouldn't be any problems, except your last paragraph which practically said nothing.
