Annotation

Argues that Hemingway’s depiction of the Midwest lacks religious tradition and values, resulting in confusion and destruction. Seaton writes: “Itself untouched by war, the disorder of Hemingway’s Midwest provides an ominous analogue to the chaos of real war.” Argues that the violent and overwhelming forces of war are simply a stronger version of those found in ordinary midwestern life. Frequent references to In Our Time, “Fathers and Sons,” and “God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen.”
