Often a man wishes to be alone and a girl wishes to be alone too and if they love each other they are jealous of that in each other, but I can truly say we never felt that. We could feel alone when we were together, alone against the others. But we were never lonely and never afraid when we were together.
In "A Farewell to Arms," Hemingway explores the complexities of love and solitude. He presents the idea that both a man and a woman may desire solitude, yet this desire can breed jealousy if they love each other. However, the characters depicted in the novel manage to transcend these feelings, finding solace in each other's company rather than feeling threatened by the need for independence.
The essence of their relationship lies in the comfort they provide one another, where their love allows them to embrace moments of solitude together. Rather than experiencing loneliness, they find strength and security through their bond, confronting the world without fear when united. This dynamic highlights a deep emotional connection that fosters mutual support and understanding, revealing the profound nature of their love.
