Dual Meaning in the Title of a Farewell to Arms: Theme of Love and War
Hemmingway has skillfully blended twin themes that are being reflected in the dual meaning of the title. The novel is about a love affair between the Henry and Barkley against the backdrop of the World War I. Love in the middle of a war could be dangerous. Risk of death and separation is at zenith in every passing moment; still love knows no bars and restrictions. It can act as a source and joy and contentment during war and for few moments can provide solace and for some moments can take away from the fret of harsh brutalities of war.
