Analysis of Impact of Nick Adams on Society in the Hero and Time in E. Hemingway’s Story

Abstract

Background: Ernest Hemingway was born in 1898. His first book, a collection of stories entitled In Our Time, was published in 1925. His last, for now, is the novel The Old Man and the Sea, which appeared in its entirety in Life magazine, corresponding to the September 1, 1952. Objective: This paper aims to analysis of impact of Nick Adams on society in Hero and Time in E. Hemingway’s story. Literature reviews: When Our Day was initially published in 1925, it received widespread acclaim for its simple and precise use of language to portray a broad variety of complicated emotions, establishing Hemingway as one of the most promising American authors of the time. Hemingway's literary style, which leaves nothing to chance, provides us with a colorful view of drinking. Beyond the obvious allure, he transformed it into a character and a commodity with a diverse symbolic arsenal representing friendship, masculinity, vulnerability, flight, or even self-destruction, but also an element of sensual pleasure and an invitation to a stylistic, lexical, and semantic journey. Cultural and literary factors shaped Hemingway's writing creativity. 'Mark Twain, the War, and the Bible were the key inspirations that molded Hemingway's mind and creativity,' writes Hemingway. Discussion: The main themes in this writer are death and love and, therefore, the women that he catalogs only in two groups; the castrators and the slaves of love. He was accused for many years of being a “macho” writer, due to his vision of the man-woman relationship with very defined patterns or roles and what could be called “topics”. Hemingway was also accused of being homophobic, misogynistic, and racist. Conclusion: The feeling of location in Hemingway's Nick Adams stories informs the narratives and develops the central themes of the Hemingway canon more so than any particular individual.
