Abstract
This paper examines Ernest Hemingway's novel, "The Sun also Rises," as an anti-war statement. The reviewer describes the novel as one of the major works that defines the "Lost Generation" of post-World War I. The novel showcases the continued casualties of war and implies that no conflict is worth the loss of humanity. The characters are analyzed in terms of what they represent as a result of the war. The reviewer concludes that the miserable state of the characters' lives in "The Sun Also Rises" shows that Hemingway's intention was to present anti-war material.
From the Paper
"The main character of Jake Barnes can be viewed as representative of the Lost Generation. A veteran of war, he has trouble dealing, both psychologically and physically, with what he witnessed and experienced during the war. His impotence reflects not only his physical injury, but also his inability to reconcile his growing feelings of emptiness. He is acutely aware of the moral vacuum that the war has created for his generation, and he is sunk deeply into that world. He has an acute sense of what is happening among the people around him, but he does not spend much time in introspection because of the pain it causes. Though he moves from place to place, he is acutely aware that, "You can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another." He is trapped between knowing and understanding the problems that the world is facing and that the War has created for his generation, but he is far too close to the problem to do anything about it. His own injury from the War and from the unrequited love he has for Lady Brett keep him deeply mired in the psychological fallout that the First World War has brought on his generation. "

Abstract
This essay argues that Ernest Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises" is anti-Semitic in terms of its treatment of the character Robert Cohn.

In this respect, "The Sun Also Rises" involves anti-Semitism.

Abstract
This paper offers a history of the critical reception of "The Sun Also Rises." The paper demonstrates how the book has been interpreted since the time of its publication and highlights those critics who made a major contribution to new ways of interpreting it. The paper underscores the fact that critics have looked at "The Sun Also Rises" for decades and many of them have come up with some interesting interpretations that challenge readers to think more deeply about what they have read.
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."

Abstract
This paper compares Hemingway's portrayal of values and masculinity in "The Sun Also Rises" to two of his other famous works, ?Soldier?s Home? and ?The Snows of Kilimanjaro.? The paper first defines the code and hero's traits of masculinity and values as depicted in "The Sun Also Rises" and then, through analysis of characters and comparison of the three novels, demonstrates that we can see Hemingway's presentation of values in action and opposition.
From the Paper
"Prevalent among many of Ernest Hemingway's novels and short-stories is the concept popularly known as the ?code hero?, an ideal character readily accepted by readers as a working definition of the masculine role in a postwar society. In "The Sun Also Rises", the principal male characters are measured by the way in which they engage in some form of relationship with Lady Brett Ashley, a dominant female character whom Hemingway portrays in a style that many critics have, at the very least, called wary, and at the most, Hemingway?s presentation of a whore sainted by her ability to play the male role. ?Brett, a ?damn fine looking woman,? evokes gender androgyny and gender ambiguity both in physical appearance (her hair) and attire (her jersey)? (Elliot, 1995, p.
78). Brett plans to marry her fianc?e for financial reasons (as does Hemingway?s male hero in ?The Snows of Kilimanjaro?), and is often portrayed as toying with the other men in her life, by which, and through their patterned interactions with her, we can as readers
see the distinct qualities of manhood that make each character unique and dynamic."

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the book, "The Sun Also Rises", by Earnest Hemingway. Specifically, it discusses cafes and food as representations of the Great War and the psychological aspects of the characters' lack of response to the war. It looks at how, in the novel, cafes and food play a major role in creating a greater feeling of the war and its after-effects. It shows how the war deadened the feelings of an entire generation, which cannot react to the war and its horrors; they can only react to the cafes and the drinking that goes on inside them.
From the Paper
"One of the themes of the novel is how the younger generation felt lost and meaningless after World War I. In the Epigraph, Gertrude Stein says, "You are all a lost generation" (Hemingway, 1986, Epigraph). These Americans who spent their time eating and drinking in the local cafes were trying to bury their memories of a horrible war with terrible deaths and destruction, but the memories cannot be covered up with food and drink. Noting Brett's attraction to champagne (and drinking in general), the Count notes, "'This wine is too good for toast-drinking, my dear. You don't want to mix emotions up with a wine like that. You lose the taste'" (Hemingway, 1986, pg. 59). They understand they are running away from their troubles, but they need to run away and forget the things they experienced."

"The Sun Also Rises", 2002.
A look at the autobiographical side of "The Sun Also Rises" by Earnest Hemingway.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how "The Sun Also Rises" by Earnest Hemingway is a mental-emotional road map through Hemingway?s own consciousness, deconstructed only where his own mind is puzzled, mythological only where his own mythologies lie, and above all, guided by his own psychological and biographical auto-eroticism. It looks at how many of the characters represent various facets of Hemingway?s own self and experience and how their inability to form lasting unions may, in fact, reflect his own inner turmoils, a point which is especially fascinating in relation to the events of Chapter 3 and Brett?s gender-transformations.
From the Paper
"If Jake is Hemingway?s impotent ultra-male self (he is one of the least effeminate characters in the book, despite his wounds), and Brett is Hemingway?s sexually aggressive female self, then the book may take on a whole new and unexpected tension. Jake?s willingness to consistently come to Brett?s rescue, and his abidingly unjealous love for her makes far more sense when they are seen as elements of the same being. Likewise the pain she gives him by refusing to live with him takes on a far deeper significance, as does the insistence on both sides that maybe they should separate. This putting-away of the inner shadow self is a frequent feature in the dysfunctional mind, of course."

Abstract
This paper examines how symbols, themes, and motifs operate on many levels in Ernest Hemingway?s novel, "The Sun Also Rises", and how Hemingway paints the portrait of a 'lost generation' that suffers from a lack of meaning and purpose. It looks at how alcoholism, destructive relationships, and the lack of communication are just a few of the issues that Hemingway touches on in this novel and how symbols and motifs work together to enhance these issues, allowing each character to develop fully.
From the Paper
"Another theme that surfaces in the novel is that of the destructiveness of love and sex. This can be seen in the various sexual encounters the characters engage in. Sex is the primary reason that Brett does not allow herself to become involved with Jake. Even though Jake knows he could never fulfill her sexual desires, he asks her why they cannot live together. She simply tells him that she could not because of the way that she is made. (55). Clearly, she has feelings for Jake but she never attempts to engage in a relationship with him and whenever Jake brings it up, she only wants to drink and not talk about it. Of course, Jake?s war wound left him feeling like less of a man and Brett?s rejection does not help him recover any dignity."

Abstract
This paper examines how characters in Ernest Hemmingway's "The Sun Also Rises" use alcohol to ease their pain and forget their problems. The paper asserts that the book is about a group of friends who drink and enjoy getting drunk, but later regret some of the things they do and say. The paper concludes that the novel demonstrates how alcohol may make a person feel good for a little while, but in the end, the pain always comes back.
From the Paper
"In The Sun Also Rises, Jake uses alcohol to cover up his pain about his impotence. Because of this disorder, he cannot have the women that he truly desires, Lady Brett Ashley, and therefore he is lonely. Jake says: "I drank a bottle of wine for company. It was Chateau Margaux. It was pleasant to be drinking slowly and to be tasting the wine and to be drinking alone. A bottle of wine was a good company" (Hemmingway 236). He can control his drinking unlike some of the other characters in the book. This is evident in his statement: "I was a little drunk not in a positive sense but just enough to be careless" (Hemmingway 29)."

From the Paper
"Ernest Hemingway?s 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises depicts the drastic changes in society after the First World War. The Sun Also Rises shows the deterioration of values of the character?s war-tattered generation. Morals that the previous generation cherished, such as family, love, honor, and church, were no longer respected by the new ?lost generation.? Such differences between countries of this era are also addressed. The Sun Also Rises is centered around a group of characters in Europe who personify important issues of their time: heated romance, effects of war, discrimination, money, violence, relationships, boozing, and cultural differences."

From the Paper
"Jake was a World War I veteran who, sometime during his service, was wounded and left impotent. This enormous defilement to his manhood was a fatal blow to his dignity and self-esteem. He became unsure of how to cope in this new, morally bankrupt, world as numbness, emptiness, and apathy invaded his heart, mind, and soul. Jake was scared of getting hurt, so he avoided personal relationships, alienated himself from people, and stayed on the outside of reality, playing it safe. As one critic described, "The fear is not of hidden presences, but of emptiness, universal absence, oblivion" (Butterfield 197). The daily distractions of company, small talk, food and especially alcohol temporarily eased his mind, but they were only that, temporary."

Abstract
The paper describes the character, Lady Brett Ashley, in Ernest Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises" as having an aimless and unsatisfying life. The novel has a post WWI setting and the paper shows how Brett's search for love and the general aimless mood of the characters in this novel are said to be symbolic of the entire Lost Generation's search for the values of love and romance before the war shattered their belief in justice, morality and manhood.
From the Paper
"Brett is viewed as an apprentice, rather than an exemplar or anti-exemplar, it is not because of her aimlessness, but due to her obsessive need of companionship. While Jake may wander from bar to bar, he knows himself, and is coming to terms no matter how painful with his lot in life. Brett, on the other hand fears her own self, her own strength. She knows the power she has over others but she is afraid. She is not comfortable with who she is even though she plays the part excellently. She is still searching for the part of herself that will allow her enough peace to be alone. Brett is studying human nature. She is an apprentice of life and her own powers and strengths. She is an expert only at playing the part she has come to play so well."

'The Sun Also Rises', 2006.
A review of the novel 'The Sun Also Rises' by Ernest Hemingway.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at one of Ernest Hemingway's most critically acclaimed novels, 'The Sun Also Rises'. According to the paper, this work depicts a plot filled with possible real life occurrences in life and love, themes surrounding a post war psychology and a group of characters with seemingly aimless wanderlust, reflective of their war experiences. The paper goes on to discuss the structure of this book.
From the Paper
"Each character builds a case for his or her own actions through dialogue with the others and through their actions yet the characters that stand out are definitely those who are expressive of historical loss. Jake, seems defeated and resolute to live the life of a eunuch, even though reminders of the past and especially being around Brett make him clearly angry and sullen. He is the outsider of the group watching as others collect experiences of the world. He is the one that insightfully knows that the others are simply avoiding the inevitable mundane that will eventually envelope their lives. This is expressed well in his narration as he describes the actions and feelings of others as expressions of avoidance. His descriptions of Robert as a man who has tried to find his youth in a book namely The Purple Land by W.H. Hudson, which according to Jake is a book meant to be read in one's youth rather than at the ripe age of 35 when one should not set their sights so high as the romantic and youthful expressions of such a work. (Hemingway 17) You can also see Jake's character development in his description of Francis, Robert's girlfriend and eventually his wife as a woman who is desperately seeking marriage to Robert because she has become aware that she has lost her beauty, she is avoiding the reality of her predicament, that Robert does not love her, by holding her man with a death grip of jealousy.

Abstract
This paper discusses how the critical reaction to this novel has gone through a number of stages, beginning with the initial reception of the work in 1926. It looks at reviews in the "New York Herald Tribune Books", the "New York Times", "The Nation", "The New Republic" and other sources. The writer briefly compares these reviews and sees how appreciation of the novel has changed over time.
From the Paper
"Conrad Aiken wrote about the novel in the New York Herald Tribune Books when it was first published. Little was then known about Hemingway, and Aiken says that he has heard a rumor that Hemingway has fought bulls in Spain to earn a living. He is not sure if this is true, but he says that Hemingway clearly has insight into the art of bull-fighting and brings this out in the novel. Aiken was familiar with some of Hemingway's short stories, and he sees The Sun Also Rises as a novel that has a bull-fight at its center. Aiken also says that Hemingway has a highly individual style, and he also calls him "a writer of very unusual gifts" and "the most exciting of contemporary American writers of fiction" (Aiken 4). Aiken says the novel is one of honesty and reality, with characters who "belong to the curious and sad little world of disillusioned and aimless expatriates who make what home they can in the cafes of Paris" (Aiken 4). Aiken singles out the dialogue as "brilliant" and as the best dialogue being written at that time."
