S/LI/170. Gender Issues in Hemingway's Fiction

This paper considers gender issues in Hemingway's fiction going beyond the typical analysis of male characters as overtly masculine. Considering Hemingway's childhood and personal adult life, there tends to be several patterns surrounding the behaviour of his male characters. This paper discusses specifically "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "The Sun Also Rises", and "The Garden of Eden" and moves through these texts chronologically in an effort to draw some conclusions paralleling Hemingway's own life.
