A Farewell to Arms- Reflection

I think it’s interesting how Catherine and Henry weren’t really that connected to each other before he got injured and once he starts to heal from his injury, he is talking about marriage with her. He went from a wild child to a tame guy very fast and it’s all because of her. We don’t really know much about Catherine besides that she is English and her old boyfriend died in the war. We know that Henry is very wild as we found out when he went on leave. In the beginning of the book Catherine wasn’t particularly interested in Henry as her boyfriend’s death was still kind of fresh in her memory but, she started to warm up to him. One night she had a breakdown and was pretending he was her old boyfriend and told him to tell her that he loved her, he did and then she said that he didn’t mean it. Now they say it and mean it. Catherine now says that she doesn’t think they need to rush to be married and that confused Henry as this is the first woman he wants to marry. Catherine said that last time she loved a guy he died and she doesn’t want that to happen to Henry.
