WWI Nursing in Literature vs. Real Life Experiences<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Real WWI nurses experienced much more in comparison to the character Catherine Barkley and other nurses portrayed in A Farewell To Arms by William Faulkner. Real WWI nurses experienced strenuous and poor working conditions, mental health problems, gender discrimination, love, and loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I intend to argue my thesis by using examples from the novel A Farewell To Arms and comparing the characters’ experiences to real accounts from WWI nurses. I will be using articles written about WWI nurses, first hand accounts, and letters. I will also be using peer reviewed articles analyzing the novel I am using, which will help explain examples from the story. Topics that I will discuss are mental health, gender roles, and the overall experience of life as a war nurse. WWI nurses experienced many challenges, they witnessed horrific injuries and death, which the novel barely brushes the surface of. They also experienced adversities due to being a woman and how soldiers viewed them. The novel and some of the articles I am using, paint an interesting picture of how relationships between soldiers and nurses were at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
