The narrator recognizes that war is cruel, unjust, and inescapable.

The narrator asserts that walking away from war would only mean war would follow you home and attack your home. Earnest Hemingway served with the Red Cross during World War I and was injured by Austrian mortar fire while carrying out his duties. After World War I, he served as a war correspondent for other conflicts that broke out in Europe. His grandson said of his reporting on war that Hemingway "told the public about every facet of the war--especially, and most important, its effects on the common man, woman, and child." Hemingway's book, Farewell to Arms, was written in that way also, not glorifying war but dealing with its realities. That's the sort of tone revealed by the narrator in the passage quoted here also.

I would say that Hemingway's indirect characterization of the narrator reveals that the narrator recognizes that war is cruel, unjust, and inescapable.
He sees that there is no escape from it, whereas Passini takes a more lenient approach to war.

What influenced the rise of romanticism and realism, and what values and ideas were at the core of each movements?

Pachacha [2.7K]

Romanticism was influenced by the enlightenment period which had classicism as its dominant art form. They were people who believed that classicism was too rigid and focused too much on scientific things and logic and being rational and wanted to speak more about mystic things and feelings and nature and supernatural and things like that, put more emotion and soul into writing.

Age of realism came as a response to this because they believed that romanticism was too melodramatic and depicted the world in a wrong way. They believed that people were being exploited by the society and the feudal lords or kings and that art should depict the world as it is in order to make people realize how bad things were. They believed romanticism artists were unaware of the troubles the people were going through.

President Theodore Roosevelt involved the U.S. in affairs in the Caribbean and South American nations using the threat of milita

zvonat [6]

The best example of "gunboat diplomacy" under Roosevelt is "C. Panama" since Roosevelt felt that this region was also a part of the US's interest since it was open to attack. This was also his "big stick diplomacy".
