Title
Androgyny and Individuation in the Work of Ernest Hemingway
Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Draws briefly on the theories of Carl Jung to explore the concepts of androgyny and individuation in Hemingway’s canon, concluding that for the author true individuation is the independent recognition of both genders within oneself. By analyzing characters from The Sun Also Rises, For Whom the Bell Tolls, A Farewell to Arms, and several other works, Gadjusek demonstrates how Hemingway’s protagonists reach this sexually independent state through self-reflection, while his androgynous characters represent those who have yet to achieve it.
