After reading Chapter 16 in A Farewell to Arms, explain how Catherine's character has developed through this point.Please be sure to include which...

Catherine and Henry of A Farewell to Arms
play an elaborate game of seduction, an illusion that sustains them against
the reality of war. In Chapter 4 when Henry first attempts to kiss her, Catherine slaps
him, but apologizes and makes the point, "And we have gotten away from the war."  As
they sit under the trees in the garden, Catherine tells Frederic, "You will be good to
me, won't you?...Because we're going to have a strange
life."

Now, in Chapter 16 Catherine seems more submissive
to Henry as she promises,

"I'll say just what you wish and I'll do what you
wish and then you will never want any other girls, will you?....I'll do what you want
and say what you want and then I'll be a great success, won't
I?"

Perhaps this moment is
Catherine's "farewell to arms" as she abandons not only thoughts of the war, but
considerations of the male/female roles, becoming for Henry whatever he desires, hoping
in this illusionary role in which she has made Henry "all clean inside and out" that she
can prevent "the strange life" that she has earlier feared. And yet, although she
strives to lose herself in Henry, Catherine still manages some situations.  For example,
she refuses to come to Henry after his operation, telling him he will be sick anyway and
not want her.
