Annotation
Close textual reading focusing on allusion, myth-adaptation, humor, and irony. Contends that Hemingway employs literary allusion to create his psychological symbols. Rudat dives deeply beneath the Hemingway iceberg to examine such topics as the nature of Jake’s wound, Jake and Brett’s relationship, and Brett’s promiscuity.
