Realism in Hemingway’s fiction (as reflected in four of his works). The central focus of this study is realism in Hemingway’s fiction.
To elucidate this point a study of tow of Hemingway’s major novels, The Old Man and The Sea and A Farewell to Arms in addition to tow short stories, Indian Camp and The Doctor and The Doctor’s Wife will be closely studied.
In the second chapter, an explanation of the influence of realism is given, and a comparison between realism and modernism is made and it presents background knowledge about Ernest Hemingway, his childhood and his literary career. The third chapter contains analysis of aspects of realism in the tow short stories.
It is also explained that the protagonists in these novels struggle to maintain dignity in the face of adversity. E.g.
Santiago’s perseverance and bravery are further illustrated when he tries to fight off the sharks and the marlin. In Frederic Henry’s case, the search for a system of values and morals is difficult because he is caught between tows very socially defined extremes, love and war.
Indian Camp is a reflection of reality.
The realities of life, birth and death.
The Doctor and the Doctor’s Wife is a story deals with the ability for a child’s mind to escape the harsh realities of the adult world. The research concludes that there are many values in Hemingway’s about society, war, death, endurance and others.
