Title
Lilith Started It! Catherine as Lilith in The Garden of Eden
Document Type
Article
Annotation
Refutes traditional readings of David and Catherine as Adam and Eve, asserting that Catherine plays the role of the androgynous Lilith from ancient Jewish tradition. Provides a literary comparison to Rossetti’s “Eden Bower” and “Lilith” (poems familiar to Hemingway) and argues for the author’s sympathetic view toward female characters.
