MAJOR THEMES IN HIS WORKS
“The Sacred Land"—the American West
“Dark Woman" vs. the good "Light Woman"
Death-existentialism Nature is where men
are without women Emasculation and
emancipation
WRITING STYLE
He learned how to "get the most from the least, how to prune language how to multiply intensities, and how to tell nothing but the truth in a way that allowed for telling more than the truth."
The style is known as the “Iceberg Theory” because in Hemingway's writing the hard facts float above water; the supporting structure, complete with symbolism, operates out-of-sight
Hemingway believed the writer could describe one thing though an entirely different thing occurs below the surface
INFLUENCE AND LEGACY
He became the spokesperson for the post-World War I generation, and he established a style to be emulated
"Hemingway industry” In 1978 a minor planet was named for him—
