Essay
Annotation
Draws on reader response theory to examine the relationship between Hemingway’s representations of time in the novel and conventions of film narration. Concludes that Hemingway’s narrative technique of providing limited insight into the hero-narrator’s mind results in a new form of identification between the reader and Jake Barnes based on perception rather than psychology.
