Read the excerpt from hemingway’s a farewell to arms. “i believe we should get the war over,” i said. “it would not finish it if one side stopped fighting. it would only be worse if we stopped fighting.” “it could not be worse,” passini said respectfully. “there is nothing worse than war.” “defeat is worse.” “i do not believe it,” passini said still respectfully. “what is defeat? you go home.” “they come after you. they take your home. they take your sisters.” “i don’t believe it,” passini said. “they can’t do that to everybody. let everybody defend his home. let them keep their sisters in the house.” “they hang you. they come and make you be a soldier again. not in the auto-ambulance, in the infantry.” what does hemingway’s indirect characterization of the narrator reveal? the narrator agrees with passini, although he does not admit this. the narrator recognizes that war is cruel, unjust, and inescapable. the narrator has little patience for opposing reasoning. the narrator tends to patronize those who disagree with him.

At first i was afraid to approach him—then the fear left me. he was sitting looking out over the city—he was dressed in the clothes of the gods. his age was neither young nor old—i could not tell his age. but there was wisdom in his face and great sadness. you could see that he would have not run away. he had sat at his window, watching his city die—then he himself had died. but it is better to lose one's life than one's spirit—and you could see from the face that his spirit had not been lost. i knew, that, if i touched him, he would fall into dust—and yet, there was something unconquered in the face. how does the conflict at the beginning of the paragraph move the plot forward? the narrator realizes that he is scared of the gods. the narrator realizes that he distrusts the spirits the narrator realizes that the god was a man. the narrator realizes that he is powerful like the gods.
