Abstract

This paper presents a contemplative perspective on the literary style and influence of Ernest Hemingway, renowned for his literary accomplishments in his short stories, novels, nonfiction essays, journalism, and drama. Emphasizing the interplay between Hemingway’s life and his work, this study delves into the writer’s substantial impact, particularly on the short story, despite his better-known association with the novel. It scrutinizes the ethical complexities and moral relativism inherent in Hemingway’s character depiction and also shows the profound influence of World War I on Hemingway’s literary output, shedding light on its resonance within his short stories and books. Moreover, it investigates Hemingway’s insatiable thirst for sociocultural insights, a trait leaving indelible imprints across much of his body of work.
