Beginning with "Nothing"
Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Reads Hemingway’s works as intra-psychic struggles in which the protagonist consciously sheds the nothingness or weightlessness of the soul to achieve a new richness of feeling. Scafella draws on instances of the word nothing from throughout Hemingway’s canon to focus on nothing as a conscious state. Looks at “The Snows of Kilimanjaro,” “The Sea Change,” and “A Clean Well-Lighted Place” considering his theory.
