I will not read the novel at 75. The "discours indirect libre" is as archaic as the backlot settings of the film. Fooled me once,etc> I saw the Farewell to Arms when I was ten years old.

"Thou" is the English *informal* second-person pronoun, and it is a historical cognate of the "tu" that Hemingway translates it from. "Thou" is just Hemingway translating "tu." It still doesn't work. Despite technically being informal (which is why Quakers still use it), "thou" feels archaic and pompous to most English speaker, which is exactly the opposite of what Hemingway is trying to convey with it. Basically, "thou" is another falsely over-literal translation, like "rare" from "raro." Hemingway *doesn’t* translate “usted” as “thou.” “Thou” is the English *informal* second-person pronoun, and it is a historical cognate of the “tu” that Hemingway translates it from. “Thou” is just Hemingway translating “tu.”
