Two as a double rhythmic movement in Hemingway's hills like white elephants

Abstract EN

Ernest Hemingway's "Hills Like White Elephants" leaves so many unanswered questions for its readers.

The story presents typical Hemingway's male and female characters in both dialogue and dilemma.

This essay studies the use of two as a double rhythmic movement in the story.

It also presents an analysis of different duality objects in the story, in which two entities of each duality are alike, though most of these objects are paradoxical in their nature, complex and ironic.

In accordance with his so-called Iceberg Theory, Hemingway stripped his work of everything but the bare essentials, leaving readers to fish through dialogue and bits of narration on their own.
