I discovered it to be evident that there was numerous foreshadowing and symbolism on this story, particularly regarding the rain. The rain all the time gave the impression to be round when one thing unhealthy was taking place and when Catherine and Frederic have been aside. After they have been collectively the rain all of the sudden disappeared. It appeared that Hemingway was utilizing the rain as a automobile to point out Frederic’s usually hidden feelings.

I appreciated this e book very a lot however there have been numerous issues I used to be unsure of on the finish of this story. Did Catherine actually love Frederic? Did he actually love her? Have been they each simply searching for closure at a tough time of their lives? I do actually consider that they did love one another however Hemingway makes some issues unclear.
