The essay must focus on one of these themes below, and the essay as a whole must clearly relay Hemingway’s intended message about this theme:
War
Loss
Reality versus fantasy
Self versus duty: (Be careful with this one! Before you decide that Henry left the war for love and Catherine, study critical thinking in our Tutorials. Think deeply about what message Hemingway is trying to relay, and consider what the title A Farewell to Arms means too.)
• Analysis is not summary. Do not summarize the story; your audience already knows the story. Analysis is the practice of looking closely at small parts to see how they affect the whole. What is the main message Hemingway is relaying in this story?
• Identify key thematic choices the author made in writing the story.
• Analyze the impact of the author’s choices, discussing how these decisions affect the story’s meaning.
