Passini's long pieces of dialogue in<em> A Farewell to Arms </em>(1929) indicate that Passini feels passionately about his beliefs.

In this excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's novel, Passini is fully convinced that a war never finishes and that victory is only an illusion. He believes that victory does not mean the end of a war since enemies will keep fighting. He also argues that the real victory, which is the end of the war, could only be achieved if one side stops fighting. Passini defends his truth fiercely in his dialogue with the tenant by presenting a strong argument and using rhetorical questions.
