Ernest Hemingway: Larger than Life

Paper Summary:

By examining the main characters in three of Hemingway's novels ("A Farewell to Arms", "For Whom the Bells Toll" and "A Soldier Home"), the author of this paper shows how Ernest Hemingway wrote about events which occurred in his lifetime and how his participation in several wars led him to develop these characters.

From the Paper:

"Hemingway describes the processes of a soldier coming home in a very cryptic format. As if coming home is a stepped-program towards a certain goal. The first step in coming home is to satisfy the visceral needs. Nick Adams spends time doing what he likes most: Fishing, Camping and spending time in the outdoors. The soldier then reevaluates relationships. He has been away. He has see things; he has learned things.(Young, 1964) He is, in some ways, a different person. He knows himself like he has never known himself before. Therefore he seeks to make certain that relationships are terminated if they have to the break up with Marjorie."
