From the Paper:

"Hence, the author highlighted the tragic sense of life that prevails all aspects of happiness and love. The young, dazzling and passionate Henry had to give in to the disillusionment and severe anguish and the war that Henry abandoned eventually snatched away all that the hero of the story held dear (Hemingway). Thus the author focuses on the viewpoint that the individuals hope for the best in life yet failure is what they are usually destined to and the universe, the land, the soil where we lead our lives appears indifferent to our plight as implied when the world challenges and puts the couple's faith to test time and again. The similar viewpoint is advocated and shared by the author of Lucy Gayheart, Willa Cather regarding man's eventual fiasco in life's perpetual journey and struggle."
