  3. she is "Hemingway hero" even more now because she hid her pregnancy for 3 months, she hid it because she didnt want to show her weakness and she didnt want to make frederic feel trapped

  4. One of Catherines Hemingway hero qualities is how she finds out that she is preganant and hides it fron Fredrick for as long as possible. For three months Catherine deals with the pregnancy on her own, once she tells Fredrick she explains how she didn't want to worry him and she has is under control. Catherine was Strong,and kept her problems to herself.

  5. Catherine posses some Hemingway hero qualities. An example of this is when she hid her pregnancy from Frederick for three months. She didnt tell him because she didnt want him to worry and she was nervous of what he would think or say to her.

  6. when catherine hides her pregnancy from frederick, it shows how much she can withhold, no matter what it is. That shows how strong her character is, because she can withhold even the most terrifying porblems and keep them to herself, even under the pressure of the war and society.

  7. catherine has some qualities of a hemingway hero because when she hides that she is pregnant from frederic. this shows that she is hiding her feeling or making a sacrafice for someone she loves. it just shows how much she loves frederic and how she will sacrafice for him which is a hemingway hero quality.

  8. Catherine displays the same kind of characteristics the frederick does and also shows examples in her personality of being a "Hemingway hero" becouse she does not reveal alot of herself personally, she keeps it to herself and instead you can infer her true throughts and feelings through her actions, for example when Catherine gave frederick the St. Peter medal that belonged to her privious fiance you know that she really does worry about him and care for him but does not express this outload.

  9. When catherine hides her pregnancy from Frederic. The characteristic that she shows is that she is cut off from the traditional values of home and family because of a general loss of faith in conventional morality. She doesn't tell him until three months in because she is scared of how he would react. They haven;t talked about having kids or getting serious because he has to go back to the war eventually. She just didn't want to see his reaction, she lost all her faith. I think she thought he would have left her if he found out she was pregnant, so she kept it a secret to keep him.

  10. Catherine is a Hemingway hero because she doesn't tell Frederick she is pregnant. She doesn't want to worry him or make him feel closed in. She doesn't where she will have the baby. Pregnancy isn't easy but she will find the strength to endure the pain. Plus her reason for "loving" Frederick is the same as his. Which is very questionable.
