- Gender study examining Frederic s search for masculinity through warfare and sex considering early twentieth-century s changing masculine ideals. Argues that Catherine takes on a traditionally masculine role as Frederic s sexual counterpart, embodying both masculine and feminine ideals. Concludes that in dying bravely, Catherine achieves the very heroic stature that eludes Frederic on the battlefield. Frequent comparisons to Soldier s Home.
