 Anti Essays : : Patterns in Hemingway and Camus - Construction of Meaning and Truth
First, Frederic Henry utters two propositions in the key passage: "I knew I was dead and that it had all been a mistake to think you just died." He is obviously wrong about the first claim, for he does not know that he is dead which makes the compound proposition false.

In 1882, after several years of inquiry and discussion, Myers took the lead among a small band of explorers (including Henry Sidgwick and Richard Hodgson, Edmund Gurney and F. Podmore), who founded the society for Psychical Research.
He continued for many years to be the mouthpiece of the society, a position for which his perfervidurn ingenium, still more his abnormal fluency and alertness, admirably fitted him.
He died at Rome on the 17th of January 1901, but was buried in his native soil at Keswick.

Frederic may think he is playing a chess game of words, but it’s Catherine who is putting those words in his mouth at the beginning of their merging.
When Frederic brings up marriage once she is pregnant, Catherine rejects the convention for the reality: In her mind, they are married, and she wants the tangible relationship [rather than a ticket away from Frederic if the authorities found they had actually married or even wished to have a sanctioned union].
Catherine is misread by Frederic, and has been misunderstood by critics since the novel was published (146-147), even by feminist critics who see her as a doormat.

Hemingway is not Frederic Henry; though he did fall for his nurse, Hemingway actually deserved the silver medal that he got.
Henry's "lack of courage and competence" (109) and even his foolishness as he shoots a sergeant for not helping with ambulances he himself has gotten mired by leaving the main road and the retreat.

 Lerman, Beyond the Sex Kitten (PIPA Volume 3 2000)
Certainly, with her experience and maturity, Catherine is closer to being the "code hero" than Frederic Henry is. He may be the apprentice, learning to deal with "it," but he has not yet graduated to this stage of gallantry.
And in her final moments of love, Catherine tells Frederic not to touch her because she knows she is dying, and she is trying--in her brave and true way--to distance herself so Frederic might be spared some pain.
When he visits Frederic after Frederic has been wounded, the priest feels "very low" (FTA 70), for the ravages of war are beginning to take their toll on his hopeful heart.

 CliffsNotes::A Farewell to Arms:Book Summary and Study Guide
For now, Henry’s strategy vis-à-vis the war specifically and the unpleasantness of the world in general, could be referred to as obliteration, which he achieves via alcohol and sex.
And yet the dynamic of Henry’s naivete versus Catherine’s experience and maturity is reiterated as Henry tries to make a date for the night after the operation, and she insists he will be in no shape to see her.
At last Henry’s character changes fundamentally during the course of the summer he spends with Catherine; on the heels of his traumatic experience at the front, a love affair with a woman (rather than mere sex with prostitutes) forces him to grow up for good.

is replaced by Camus's notion of the Absurd, of the "benign indifference of the universe." If anything, the universe Frederic Henry reflects on at the end of Hemingway's novel is a malevolent force waiting to "[kill] you in the end.
Underneath the surface meaning of the ruling icons of his culture (law, religion, conventional morality) Meursault is finally able to experience a subjective and intense "meaning" in the form of a separate peace brought about by this surrender to the benign indifference of the world.
An important difference between the two novels is also shown by this passage: Frederic Henry thinks much the same about marriage and such conventions as Marie does, whereas Meursault's comments remind us of Catherine Barkley's on those same subjects.
