    Ernest Hemingway is acknowledged as one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. Although Hemingway’s literature is praised, his novels and short stories provoke high amounts of critical response. His most recognizable works include The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, and The Old Man and the Sea. Hemingway’s characters and themes were based on ideas of violence and masculinity.

During this time period, people’s faith in the American government and policy was shattered as they were deeply effected by wartime experiences, which drove them to distant countries and new professions as they tried to avoid their war stained past (Baym 13-18). These people became known as the Lost Generation. In the novel, Hemingway explores the possibility of the two sides of a person, the façade they put on in public and their true self, by using aesthetics and artistic elements of contrast. It is important to understand the imagery of Hemingway’s work because Jonathan Culler, author of Literary Theory – A Very Short Introduction, says, “without aesthetics… there is no art” (Culler…
