What genre of writer is Hemingway?

Ernest hemingway is a famous American literary master. He was born in Oak Park in the western suburbs of Chicago at the end of 19. In his youth, Hemingway first set foot in the literary world. He got rid of the influence of traditional English book literature on American literary world, inherited Mark Twain's realistic style, and found a new way. During the First World War, he was confused by politicians and volunteered to participate in the wars in Europe. During the war, he was shot in the thigh and almost disabled. Desperate after the war, he devoted himself to writing and published the novel The Sun Also Rises on 1926, which established his position in the literary world. His novel A Farewell to Arms was widely acclaimed from 65438 to 0929. However, in World War II, he still participated in the war as a war correspondent. Hemingway is a representative writer of the lost generation after the First World War. They are pessimistic, suspicious, despise rhetoric, hate rationality, deny almost all the traditional values in their lives, and think that life is dark and everything is empty. But in fact, from many of his works, especially in his later works, it is not difficult to see that Hemingway is not a nihilist who denies everything. The characters in his novels have very strict moral codes of conduct. In my opinion, Hemingway's philosophy of life is close to accepting the theory of the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest. He believes that life is cruel and peacetime is only a continuation of war, but at the same time he also believes that there are some natural and beautiful things in the world that can be used as a relief from sadness, such as hunting, fishing or drinking. Even if all this fails, he can still keep elegant demeanor under heavy pressure, which he believes is the most important thing. Hemingway's code of conduct, in his implicit pen, is often expressed by the little people among several close friends. After World War I, western traditional moral values completely collapsed. However, although these ordinary people are not heroes, they still maintain certain survival values, such as honesty, morality, courage, perseverance, patience and integrity of personality. The characters in his works often make people feel a tense opposition. Hemingway is obviously on the side of being oppressed and exploited for the evil and injustice in this world. As an artist, he hates the evil people in this world and sympathizes with the oppressed. His attitude and understanding of life are clearly reflected in some small people in his works, especially their moral qualities. These people advocate honesty and courage, can withstand painful torture, be happy and sad, keep a straight face, and always keep their manners. Such characters appear constantly in Hemingway's novels and are very successful. Some people even call it Hemingway's image. This is the tough guy we all know. Taking A Farewell to Arms as a reference, we analyze Hemingway's thoughts, feelings and artistic style in detail. A Farewell to Arms is a novel with strong anti-war sentiment, which can represent his early writing style. The novel is divided into two parts, the first part is to bid farewell to the war; The second part is to say goodbye to love. First of all, the novel criticizes the hypocrisy of imperialist propaganda. As Saul Bellow said, "Hemingway can be said to have become the spokesman of the soldiers who participated in the First World War at the instigation of Woodrow Wilson and other boastful politicians. What role did the rhetoric of these politicians play? This should be measured by the bodies of stiff young people all over the trenches. "In the novel, Hemingway constantly pointed out or implied that war destroyed people's happiness. He has a kind of pessimism and despair that life is like a dream, and fundamentally denies bourgeois civilization. From the first chapter, A Farewell to Arms describes two opposing worlds, one is a soldier trudging in the dust and the other is a little king sitting in a car. Then he reported that the army was infected with plague, adding sarcastically: "As a result, only 7,000 people died in the army. "In Hemingway's early creation, the dominant aspect of his ideological understanding can be said to be boredom with everything, which seems to see through all the pillars of western civilization. However, with the world economic panic and the intensification of political struggles of different natures, Hemingway also had a further understanding of capitalist society and politics. He published the novel Rich and Poor in 1937, in which his thoughts changed slightly. During the Spanish Civil War, he paid for the manuscript in advance, actively raised money to support the Spanish people, and volunteered to join the government forces to fight fascism. In this practical struggle, he first realized the power of collective struggle, which also criticized his consistent individualistic outlook on life. 1940, he published the novel for whom the bell tolls, which affirmed the heroic struggle of the Spanish against fascism, and his attitude changed obviously compared with before. But in a word, Hemingway's western world is full of cruelty, despair, failure and death, so some people think that his works are mainly a denial of western civilization and a nihilist. However, even in Hemingway's novels expressing extreme grief, he still made a positive affirmation: although life has no meaning, no purpose and no direction, its behavior must follow certain norms; There are still several intimate people in the vast sea of people, so we should live with sincerity, courage and style. One's greatest achievement is to keep poise and lose beautifully under the pressure of disparity between the enemy and ourselves. Although defeated by evil and dark forces, he still achieved spiritual victory-this victory is not only manifested in the indomitable spirit of the Spanish people in For Who the Bell Tolls, but also in the tragic victory of Cuban fishermen after their struggle with big fish in The Old Man and the Sea. Western literary circles have been arguing endlessly about Hemingway's artistic style. Some people emphasize his symbolism, others emphasize his satire, some say it is naturalism, and some say it is critical realism. The clearer the writer's understanding of the real world and the truer his feelings, the more likely he is to integrate his thoughts into the artistic image. Hemingway not only described the phenomenon of contemporary things, but also tried to reflect the contemporary reality, especially the spirit of the times. He is keen on recording and reporting the phenomena of things: war, hunting, fishing, bullfighting, horse racing, boxing, alcoholism, love and so on. These are very vivid in his works. For his carefully selected life materials, he often used to use two methods. The first is the style of news reporting. He has been a journalist since he was a child and has received strict writing training. He can write short messages skillfully, succinctly and concisely. He also uses plain and restrained sentences without personal feelings, which are often true, dramatic and somewhat ironic. The second way of expression is to use rhythmic sentence structure, repeatedly using repetition, parallelism, inverse proportion and other techniques, aiming at summoning a psychological impression, which is called impressionism. According to the analysis of Hemingway expert Carlos Baker, the symbolic effect of A Farewell to Arms is caused by meticulous repetition of hints. Hemingway's symbolism has three aspects: heaven, earth and man. " "Sky" refers to weather changes, such as rain, which means disaster and misfortune, and appears repeatedly in the novel, slowly establishing the psychological connection between rain and disaster in the reader's mind. Such meticulous repetition and the accumulation of specific symbols have great avalanche power. "Land" refers to the place. In this paper, plains and lowlands are associated with war, death and sadness. Highlands and mountains, whether the hometown of priests or the mountains of Switzerland, are always associated with a happy life. Hemingway himself also has certain views on his artistic style. He said: "I sometimes feel that my style is more suggestive than direct. "He also said," Many writers are content to leave big rough articles, but I finely carve them and grind them into small gems. "1952, Hemingway published his novella The Old Man and the Sea, which made him famous all over the world. /kloc-0 won the nobel prize in 1954, and196/kloc-0 committed suicide every year. Ended his brilliant, perfect and unfortunate life.
