REALISM ELEMENTS IN THE NOVEL"A FAREWELL TO ARMS" BY ERNEST HEMINGWAY

Abstract

This article explains realism and reveals its features on the novel "A Farewell to arms" by Ernest Hemingway. In this work, Hemingway provides a realistic account of war. He wants to show readers the real depiction of it and lets them experience the events of the novel as though they were actually witnessing them. Utilising a simple writing style and ordinary language, he omits some adjectives and adverbs which are not required essentially. To make readers feel a sense of immediacy, Hemingway makes frequent use of short declarative clauses and also uses conjunction more often, especially, and. Overall, we can understand that realism is ultimately the major emphasis in the novel “A Farewell To Arms". In order to reveal this, Hemingway uses appropriate basic elements of realism in writing and creates a positive influence on students' understanding.
