الملخص الإنجليزي

The current study “The Impact of War on Characterization in Selected Works of Two Modernist Writers" presents an analysis of the development of characters and proposes that, in wartime setting, fictive characters, as mouthpieces, exhibit the changes in the attitudes, ideas, emotions and behaviors that reflect those of the characters with their own use of language, structures, and special informal colloquial authors.

The analysis highlights the impact of war on the protagonists on the social/ cultural, psychological and the physiological dimensions of the two selected literary works: Arms and the Man by George Bernard Shaw and For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway, which represent the modernist period.

The protagonists in these works, who are a hero in a comedy and a man who is troubled by doubts in a novel, effectively reflect the authors' anti-war messages.

The study argues that by tracing and analyzing the range of experiences and attitude changes in the protagonists, the impact of war on the emotions and behaviors of the protagonists leads them to become more "realistic".

The interior thought of the characters reveals the depth of the impact of war on their experiences.

Thus, the critical interpretation of changes in the protagonists provides a deeper understanding of the literary texts.

The creation and development of speech make them more convincing and more effective.

The study examines the revealing quality of contrast between the literal and the idealistic level of ideas and behaviors in works in the modernist tradition.

The conclusions which the characters arrive at finally take into consideration what it means to be real and how to interpret reality and accept it.

The impact of the authors on the characters’ development and their views on war is based on the authors’ own experiences.
