Frederick Henry and Catherine Barkley, Two Code Heroes at Different Development Levels

Hemingway's stature as a writer was confirmed with the publication of A Farewell to Arms. Infact, Hemingway wrote a lot of war stories, but in almost all of his novels, the concept of the"Hemingway Hero"or more popularly the"code hero"is frequently elaborated and vividly exemplified. In the novel"A Farewell to Arms", Frederick Henry and Catherine Barkly are both Hemingway code characters who carry out the code very well and both show their grace under pressure in face of death, misery and disorder.Yet, an indepth study shows that the development levels of the two Hemingway code heroes are not the same.Catherine is the initi-ated, developed, and established code hero while Frederick is a developing code hero who can't be seen as a perfect one until the end of the story. He is to be initiated and tested;we observe his development under the tests.

Catherine in A Farewell to Arms: Not a Perfect Woman in a Feminist World

Abstract:In Ernest Hemingway’s famous novel A Farewell to Arms,the main heroine Catherine is depicted and often interpreted as a perfect woman.Most male readers may regard Catherine as a dreamy wife since she is not only pretty,but also passionate towards love.However,this is not the case in a feminist point of view.Feminists hold a nearly opposite opinion towards Catherine.Therefore,what type of woman Catherine is in a feminist world is the question that needs solving.By applying a feminist view of what a female individual should do and contrasting Catherine’s behavior with the deeds of eligible women in feminists’eyes,it can be proved that Catherine can be considered as a delicate and dependent woman in Hemingway’s novel.Therefore,when shaping this character,Hemingway actually made an imperfect woman in a feminist view.

Barbara Longhi of Ravenna:A Devotional Self-Portrait

From the variety of types of portraiture,there evolved the imaging of a self-portrait as we see in Saint Catherine of Alexandria by Barbara Longhi of Ravenna(1552-1638).The self-portrait is a unique work of art,an intimate record of a sitter’s personality.It is an acknowledgment of worth,an exercise in technique,and a designator of era,style,and likeness.The self-portrait can be a study in expression,an impersonation of a virtue,or a document in a history of aging.As William Shakespeare noted in Hamlet,“[The self-portrait is]to show virtue her own feature,scorn her own image,and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure.”In the sixteenth-century in Italy,artists often included themselves or their self-portraits in religious and secular scenes as a type of signature,as seen in the paintings of the Longhi family.In their many depictions of Saint Catherine of Alexandria,the Longhis composed two types of such images:a single-solo-image of the saint;and also her presence in a group with saints-a theme known as holy conversation.In her paintings,Barbara Longhi preferred to depict the solo image of Saint Catherine of Alexandria,using herself as a model for the figure of the saint or as a muse impersonating or personifying the saint’s virgo virtue.This essay is composed of two parts:(1)a brief explanation of the meaning of self-portraits in sixteenth-century Italy;and(2)a study of Barbara Longhi’s self-portraits as Saint Catherine of Alexandria.
