...love, Hemingway wrote with peculiar implausibility. The love affair in A Farewell to Arms is a kind of modern Romeo and Juliet. Most of the other love stories read like adolescent male fantasies. In Hemingway there are only two kinds of women-the bitches like Margaret Macomber who shoots her husband the moment he displays courage, and the somnambules like Maria, who sleepwalks into Robert Jordan's sleeping bag.
