A Farewell to Arms

Ernest Hemingway

1. Briefly identify Mr. and Mrs. Meyers.

Why doesn’t Catherine like Ettore Moretti?

2. “All right. I’m afraid of the rain because sometimes I see me dead in it.” “No.”
“And sometimes I see you dead in it.” “That’s more likely.”
“No, it’s not, darling. Because I can keep you safe. I know I can. But nobody can help themselves.”

How do you think Catherine plans to keep Frederick safe?

What does she mean when she says “nobody can help themselves”
Why do you think the rain is so depressing for Catherine?
