From the Paper:

"Ernest Hemingway's Farewell to Arms is often called the best novel about WWII, because of the contrast between the horrors of war and the love shared between Catherine and Frederick. In addition, Hemingway is also considered to be one of the best writers in American literature, due to his vivid, detailed accounts and unique use of symbolism and irony. The title of the book, Farewell to Arms is a prime example of these literary devices. "The original "Farewell to Arms," comes from a poem by George Peele who lived in the 1500s in England. The poem, dedicated to Queen Elizabeth, relates to the great disappointment of a soldier who can no longer fight. "This helmet shall now make a hive for bees," he says forlornly."
