Hemingway

The main theme of his works is the relationship between the modern alone person and the death and the others. His novels refuse the existence of a <common life>: the job, house and friends, but it is also what his characters want to have and they cannot reach. For them, the end of the way is the death. Therefore, the resignation is <the feeling which precedes the liquidation>. His protagonists need to see their life going to borderline situations- wars, bullfights and hunt- to feel alive, but in the search they are condemned to the self-destruction, which sometimes includes destroying others. Moreover, the characters are in need of love because, in general, they have lonely and injured lives, and they try to hide their vulnerability with a cap of pride, indifference or cynicism. But Hemingway provides intense movements where his protagonists experiment positive feelings such as tenderness, fraternity, passion or happiness, although in the end is the death who win the game.
