A Comparison of War and Peace and a Farewell to Arms
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
By making a general comparison between A Farewell to Arms by Hemingway and War and Peace by Tolstoy, this article provides us with insightful and innovative perspectives on better comprehension of war novels and critical realism. Through comparison we find Hemingway was not only highly influenced by Tolstoy’s techniques but he also developed them. He applied the technique of interior monologue as Tolstoy did, but his monologue had unique characteristics. Through comparison, we also acquire profound knowledge about the different cultures of the East and the West. Keywords: Comparison; A Farewell to Arms; Hemingway; War and Peace; Tolstoy.
