Annotation
Uses Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin’s The Physiology of Taste (1825) to explain the connection between Frederic’s eating habits and his environment, from basic sustenance on the warfront to nourishing meals with Catherine. Concludes that the gastronomical subtext of Fredric’s life affirming hunger in the final scene assures him that he can endure the pain of Catherine’s death.
