Short Blog- Farewell To Arms

Due to the disturbing ending of farewell to arms I came to the realization that this book was full of traumatic events that shaped who Patrick Henry was. While reading this book, I personally felt that Patrick Henry did not change to the extent that the readers would have expected. I had always felt Henry’s sense of selfishness throughout the novel but never really understood it until the end. In my opinion all these negative experiences lead Henry to believe the worst and therefore he does not allow himself to fully feel. He is numb but in a sense wakes up in the slightest about as Cathrine and his child die. This novel was complex and allowed the readers to think deeper than the surface but overall I did not enjoy the novel very much and felt that it was super long.
