Earlier in the novel, this woman’s lover undoes her hair when they kiss so that it envelops them, likening it to being “inside a tent or behind a falls.” In a hotel room furnished with red plush and mirrors, this woman says, “I never felt like a whore before,” and discusses the poem “To His Coy Mistress.” While thinking of this woman, the narrator notes that “if people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them.” In an ending that was rewritten over 47 times, this woman’s lover walks back to his hotel in the rain after she dies from a C-section. This woman helps her lover row a boat to Switzerland after deserting the Italian army. For 10 points, name this nurse and lover of Frederic Henry in Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms. ■END■
