Title
To Have and Have Not: Hemingway Through the Lens of Theodor Adorno
Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Noting both Adorno’s and Hemingway’s opposition to institutionalized power, Frederking relies on Adorno’s political philosophy to read Harry Morgan as the embodiment of his concept of the rebel. Argues that Morgan exemplifies the liberated self, or rebel, through his autonomy and authentic engagement with his circumstances and the people he encounters. Contends that To Have and Have Not “provides insight into the relevance of the rebel who may fight without political intention but whose actions nonetheless carry political consequences.”
