Engendering Gender: Hemingway and Women
Document Type
Article
Annotation
Biographical and literary analysis of Hemingway’s sexual and emotional relationships with women. Chakravertty characterizes Hemingway’s concept of the ideal woman as a strong yet submissive martyr with a sexual potency matching his own. Contends that this portrayal stems from his own masculine insecurity. Briefly addresses The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Across the River and into the Trees, and others.
