Annotation
Connects Hemingway’s prose style with the artistic conventions of a still-life painting to expose Frederic’s buried desires and anxieties. Articulates moments in the novel where objects in the text, especially Catherine as an “emptied container” after her death, carry attached connotations revealing another layer to the emotional strata of the characters.
