The world contains many recurring events that remind humans of morals or important things. In the novel “A Farewell to Arms” many events are repeated. Usually, these repeating or repeating events have a deeper message written into the text. This is no different than the novel “The Great Gatsby” having a climate that invariably matches the tone and atmosphere of the text. Author Ernest Hemingway made “A Farewell to Arms” with a very specific motive. The theme of rain and nature in Hemingway's novel reveals that there are things a human being cannot control; making them recognize what is missing and how life can bring sadness. The constant appearance of rain allows us to foreshadow sadness; the opposite can be inferred where there is more relief than sadness. The book says of the weather “… came permanent rain, and with the rain came cholera” (Hemingway, 4). When it rains heavily at the beginning of the book, we begin to describe the scenery. Rain means rain as death and as tragedy for thousands of dead soldiers following the cholera that comes with the rain. Usually when it rains in a novel or film the plot becomes negative. Rain serves as a powerful symbol of the inevitable disintegration of happiness in life. Before describing the rain, Hemingway says that “the leaves” on the trees “fell early that year” and this is not an example of rain, but it shows that not only does rain foreshadow sadness, but nature itself does. The natural aspect of this was that the leaves symbolize soldiers and since they fall early in that year it means they are dying young. Their deaths are sometimes forgotten by the permanent rain that falls... in the middle of the paper... into the ether and in her own hands, she takes her last breath. Earnest Hemingway throughout the novel develops the motif of rain to the extent that the word alone has the power to change with desperation and anguish. In most novels, films or short stories, rain is used to represent awakening, new life and other positive things. Hemmingway uses this element to send the message that rain is a dark, dark and sad element. Catherine in the book says that everything ends in death and it was raining when she was in the hospital and when Henry comes out. Albert Pike once said, “What we have made only for ourselves dies with us; what we have done for others and for the world remains and is immortal." Henry was our main character and we followed his story, but Henry is forever changed despite the rain and he will never forget it even if it rains for the rest of his life.
