1. 研究目的与意义（文献综述包含参考文献）

literature review

a farewell toarms has been analyzed by many critics from many different angles. however, most of them focus on the theme of anti-war.

according to guan mingfu(2004), hemingway develops his anti-war idea within three stages: the first stage is being lost, the next is being against war, and the last is calling on resuscitation of humanity. and a farewell toarms is a representative works of the second stage. hemingway sets the background of this novel under the world war i, denounces that the war destroys the happiness of people through characters in the novel. he wants to make people realize that as long as there is a war, there is no happiness. the death of catherine and their son gives henry a fatal hit. he loses his affections and all the hope and courage of living.

2. 研究的基本内容、问题解决措施及方案

I have read the original wok of A Farewell toArms and collected many materials concerning Hemingways personal information and the background of novel. I have read these materials carefully and collected lots of information by analyzing and comparing. As the novel actually is an autobiography of him, I will study the background of Hemingway and his own experiences and feeling during the World War I. Then, I will analyze the changes of the main character Henry. In addition, I also mention Hemingways writing techniques used in this novel.
