76295409.Pdf Concealments in Hemingway's Works Gerry Brenner Like any writer who continues to engage our interest, compel our attention, and challenge our understanding, Ernest Hemingway was simultaneously blessed and cursed throughout his life by an obsession. It is Professor Bren­ ner's opinion that that obsession—Heming­ way's relationship with the chief emotional object of his life, his father—empowered all of his writing, and that exploring it uncovers previously unseen complexities in both the man and his work. Using the methods of New Criticism, ge­ neric criticism, classical Freudian theory, and psychobiography, Dr. Brenner extracts from Hemingway's deceptively "artless" works their dynamic but hidden aims. When viewed from these combined critical perspectives, the justly acclaimed novels, the troublesome non­ fiction, and even stories dismissed as mediocre take on dimensions of meaning and signifi­ cance that have previously gone undetected. Professor Brenner's revisionary reading di­ vides Hemingway's mature writings into five phases in order to trace Hemingway's obses­ sion and two related ideas: that until his last phase, Hemingway's novels and books of non­ fiction were experimental—an intention he tried rigorously to conceal—and that his aes­ thetic aim, during all phases of his career, was to conceal his art and his cunning as an artist. To the first phase, which he terms the The­ sis Phase, Brenner assigns A Farewell to Arms and The Sun Also Rises; to the second, the Aesthetic Phase, the nonfictional Death in the Afternoon and Green Hills of Africa. The third or Aristotelean Phase contains To Have and Have Not and For Whom the Bell Tolls, conscious attempts to write, first, a classical tragedy and, second, a classical epic. Across the River and into the Trees belongs to the Imitative Phase, Dante's Divine Comedy being Hemingway's deliberate, concealed model.

  • A Farewell to Arms, by Ernest Hemingway
    A Farewell to Arms BY Ernest Hemingway Book One 1 In the late summer of that year we lived in a house in a village that looked across the river and the plain to the mountains. In the bed of the river there were pebbles and boulders, dry and white in the sun, and the water was clear and swiftly moving and blue in the channels. Troops went by the house and down the road and the dust they raised powdered the leaves of the trees. The trunks of the trees too were dusty and the leaves fell early that year and we saw the troops marching along the road and the dust rising and leaves, stirred by the breeze, falling and the soldiers marching and afterward the road bare and white except for the leaves. The plain was rich with crops; there were many orchards of fruit trees and beyond the plain the mountains were brown and bare. There was fighting in the mountains and at night we could see the flashes from the artillery. In the dark it was like summer lightning, but the nights were cool and there was not the feeling of a storm coming. Sometimes in the dark we heard the troops marching under the window and guns going past pulled by motor-tractors. There was much traffic at night and many mules on the roads with boxes of ammunition on each side of their pack-saddles and gray motor trucks that carried men, and other trucks with loads covered with canvas that moved slower in the traffic.

  • Rainy Day Blues: the Role of Weather in a Farewell to Arms the Elements Play a Critical Role in Hemingway's Writings. They
    !" Rainy Day Blues: The Role of Weather in A Farewell to Arms The elements play a critical role in Hemingway’s writings. They foreshadow future events, reflect the emotions of characters, and serve as a metaphor for overarching themes. In A Farewell to Arms, weather is heavily symbolic, especially the rain. Throughout the novel, the weather transitions gradually from warm and dry to wet, cold and muddy as the war becomes more real and immediate to Frederic. It is a symbol for mortality, steadily falling as a constant reminder of the violence of the war and the inevitability of death. A Farewell to Arms begins in the summer, when Frederic is living peacefully in the countryside with the other officers. On the first page of the first chapter, the narrator describes the bed of the river, which is shallow and calm. Protruding rocks, “dry and white in the sun” (3), are unsullied by rain and mud, and maintain their white hue, symbolic of their purity--the river bed has yet to be flooded, and it flows along lazily in the summer sun. The rain, and the war, are far away; the artillery flashes in the distance seem benign, “like summer lightning” (3), rather than an actual threat. The narrator, Frederic, remarks that despite these flashes of the distant violence, “the nights were cool and there was not the feeling of a storm coming” (3). The violence is far-off; Frederic reacts to it just as a child who listens to a storm in bed, but snuggles further under the covers and feels safe.

  • Creatures in Hemingway's Short Stories: Les Hommages to Human Grief
    Creatures in Hemingway's Short Stories: 静岡県立大学 Les Hommages to Human Grief 99 短期大学部 研究紀要第 12-1 号 1998 年度 Creatures in Hemingway's Short Stories: Les Hommages to Human Grief Hiroshi TAKAHASHI The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway, the Finca Vigía Edition published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1987, contains in its whole bulk of seventy stories the eight items in whose titles Hemingway had the same number of creatures included: ① "Cat in the Rain," ② "Hills Like White Elephants," ③ "A Canary for One," ④ "The Butterfly and the Tank," ⑤ "The Good Lion," ⑥ "The Faithful Bull," ⑦ "Get a Seeing-Eyed Dog," and ⑧ "Black Ass at the Cross Roads"(gothics added). While it is admitted that the group of animals mentioned above show the author's innate penchant for animated nature such as often seen in his works, whether in novels, in short stories, or in essays, it may also be of some interest to some readers and critics of Hemingway's short stories to notice that these eight stories may be capable of a collective survey as one lot, in terms of his technical feats by exquisitely using living things as crucial props or measures to enhance dramatic effects with, although not like such significantly big elements in the development of stories as the bulls in The Sun Also Rises or the leopard and the hyena in "The Snows of Kilimanjaro." The technique of introducing into the works something like simile, metaphor, implication, association, insinuation, reminder, or instigator by using animals could be regarded as of the topnotch quality.

After high school, he worked as a writer for the Kansas City Star for six months Hemingway wished to sigh up for the war, but due to a glass eye was denied After witnessing a man stranded at the union station, left to die because of small pox and nearby peoples fear to approach him, Hemingway took up the path of an ambulance driver. Lived the life of a celebrity Minimalist Hemingway employed a distinctive style which drew comment from many critics At the beginning of his career Hemingway did not give way to lengthy geographical and psychological description. Though later he used he vividly described nature. His style had been said to lack substance because he avoids direct statements and descriptions of emotion. Later he began to write more deeply into emotions, mostly discussing death and providing a detailed picture in the readers mind Style seen as direct and simple He used his senses as the center for his writing Believed the mind was “treacherous and abstract” Wrote in an unconventional style, with the problems of war, violence and death as their themes, presenting a symbolic interpretation of life. While working in Michigan, Hemingway met Elizabeth Hadley Richardson, an inexperienced and naïve girl, educated at an all girls school.

  • Example of an Authorship Review
    Student’s Name Independent Honors English Authorship Review Fall 2020 Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) Born in Oak Park, Illinois, on July 21, 1899, Ernest Hemingway grew up to be one of the most notable writers in 20th Century America, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953 for his novella, The Old Man and the Sea. His writing career began on his high school newspaper, Trapeze and Tabula, and his interest in journalism continued after graduation when he took a job as a reporter at the Kansas City Star. In 1918, 19-year-old Ernest served as an ambulance driver for the Red Cross in Italy but was subsequently injured in an explosion. He convalesced in a hospital in Milan and started a flirting relationship with a nurse named Agnes. This brief romance, along with his experience as an ambulance driver in WWI, served as the source material for his third novel, A Farewell to Arms. Back in Chicago, Ernest took a job writing for the Toronto Star and met his first wife, Hadley Richardson. The couple soon joined a growing number of literary expatriates - like F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, and Ezra Pound - who relocated to Paris after the war. They were a part of the Lost Generation. While in Paris, Ernest and Hadley traveled with their friends frequently to Spain to watch the bull fights, thus giving him source material for his first published novel, The Sun Also Rises. Ernest and Hadley had one son, but the couple did not last on account of Ernest’s affair with Pauline Pfeiffer.
