From the Paper:

"Many of Hemingway's characters exude masculinity and raw power, and this novel is no exception, as many critics have also noted. These are men who are strong, silent, and often deadly. They are not afraid of death, as their running with the bulls shows. One 1943 review said, "They act like people who have not fully grown up and who lack the self-awareness to realize this; in fact, they possess no desire to grow up" (Farrell 222). This anti-Semitism according to many critics and reviewers.s also quite in keeping with their masculinity, which does not necessarily denote maturity, as their running with the bulls in Pamplona also shows. Grown, mature men do not need to prove their masculinity by running from bulls, but young men still finding themselves certainly do, and critics recognized this."
