Hills Like White Elephants Literary Analysis
Hills Like White Elephants

In the short story “Hills Like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway it can be assumed that the girl Jig gets an abortion and does not stay together with the American considering the amount of conflict they have shown in the text.

Jig seems a lot younger than the American, since she is referred to as girl in the story. Also, she seems like she wants to have the abortion. Example from the text, “I’ll do it and everything will be fine (Ernest Hemingway)”. However, she is still unsure about it since she is still referred to as girl you can assume she is not financially stable. In short, if she did have the child and if the American decided to leave then she would most likely not be able to support herself.

Although,

    Symbolism In Ernest Hemingway's Hills Like White Elephants

    Ernest Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants” portrays the turmoil a couple endures when faced with an unplanned pregnancy, the choice to hold onto their current life or to begin a new life. Readers are allowed to intrude on a conversation between an American man and a girl, further conflict is presented through Hemingway’s use of symbolism. The man wants to go through with an abortion while the girl is unsure about which track she should take. Throughout the story, Hemmingway’s use of abundant details about the setting, rather than providing much detail about the characters, reveal a conflict between the man’s desire for the girl to have a “perfectly natural” (Hemingway 116) procedure and the decision to forgo an “awfully simple operation”…

    An Analysis Of Hemingway's 'Hills Like White Elephants'

    Although most of the features of "Hills Like White Elephants" have been well discussed and understood, so that Paul Smith, in his 1989 survey of opinion on the story, can wonder if there is anything left to say about it (209), what has not been satisfactorily resolved is the question of the ending. In view of the fact that Hemingway leaves virtually everything, even what is at issue between the girl and the American, for the reader to "figure" out, meanwhile unobtrusively supplying what is needed to understand the story's structure and conflict, it seems logical to assume that he also expected the reader to be able to answer the question left by the story's ending: What are the couple going to do about the girl's pregnancy? Yet the ending…

    Analysis Of Hills Like White Elephant By Ernest Hemingway

    Does Ernest Hemingway’s use of direct presentation of the subjects; simple, direct language, and compression make it impossible for the audience to emotionally connect to the story? Most writer’s goal is to intrigue their readers with their work. They want their reader to connect, emotionally, they want their complete attention. For this to happen you must be interesting, paint pictures in their minds, get them involved in the reading, build a relationship, and tell a story!

    Hills Like White Elephants Analysis

    The American sees it as a problem that can easily be solved as where Jig sees it as a beautiful experience. Jig looks to the hills and says; "they look like white elephants" by saying "white elephants" she is referring to her pregnancy. Jig continues to say, "They're lovely hills" meaning having a baby will be lovely. The American tires to minimize the beauty of it and explains, "It's really not anything. They just let the air in." Even though the conflict is the man and Jigs issue with keeping the baby or getting an abortion, it is ultimately up to Jig to decide. Towards the end of the story when the man gets the final say about the abortion, the girl says, "I'll scream." Meaning she has made up her mind and she does not want to hear anymore from the…

    Hills Like White Elephants By Paul Rankin Analysis

    "Hills Like White Elephants" by Earnest Hemingway In his summary of "Hills Like White Elephants" by Earnest Hemingway, Paul Rankin comes to a few conclusions about the a young girl in the story. Using both Carl Jung and Karen Horney’s application of human behavior to buttress his opinion, Rankin comes to the conclusion that Jig was the superior actor and the unnamed American is the inferior actor in the play. The evidence Rankin uses to prove Jung’s theory is that the nature of the mans feelings of inadequacy and inferiority in the face of Jigs imminent transformation from the girl into motherhood (Rankin 234). And his conclusions using Horney’s school of thought is mans fundamental lack of a life-creating power with which woman is imbued, has motivated the creation of such historically masculine enterprises as state, religion, art, and science, in mans attempt to compensate for that insurmountable deficiencies .a (Rankin 235) There is further evidence that Rankin’s take on the American in White Elephants is one of an inferior player by using the banter between Jig and the unnamed American male to show she was in control, We encounter further evidence of the mans inferiority complex in his severe response to Jigs playful banter about the similarity between hills and elephants. Having already admitted that he has never seen white elephants, the man angrily berates Jig, saying, Just because you say I wouldn’t have doesn’t prove anything (Rankin 236). Paul Rankin’s over all view of "Hills Like White…

    Hills Like White Elephants Literary Analysis

    True love can be defined by the decision to abort or keep child. Many myths and philosophies have been introduced in society to prevent people from committing abortion, and remains a vice to this day. Hemingway uses symbolism in a way that relays this message. White elephants are symbolically used to represent the enlarging womb or uterus as they progressively become more visible, as would a growing baby in Jig 's womb. The hills symbolize the swollen breasts of a pregnant woman as wells a belly full of expectations and pending motherhood (Weeks, 76). A white elephant is a symbol of something of little value which is expensive and difficult to maintain. This is how Jig and the American saw the baby, as a costly, added expense in their lives and more of an interruption in their plans (Hemingway, 552). Moreover, one of the hills from the perspectives of Jig could represent her lifestyle and the American. The American does not have a name which is of major significance, too. He remains unnamed throughout the story, which can represent just about any American man who is in love or probably just out to have fun with a woman yet not ready for any major commitments such as a having a baby. That is why the American tries to convince Jig to do away with the baby because he is simply not interested in it (Hemingway, 555). The American pretends not to care about the ultimate decision regarding the pregnancy, although he clearly pushes her to in the direction of…

    In conclusion, it is unclear in Hemingway’s Hills like White Elephants if Jig decided to go along with the abortion or keep her unborn child, but at the end Jig says, “There’s nothing wrong with me. I feel fine.” Abortion and pregnancy are viewed differently and the main characters are perfect examples of this. Jig sees the unborn child as a new start and happiness while the American views the child as an…

    Compare And Contrast Hills Like White Elephant And The Story Of An Hour

    Ernest Hemingway’s "Hills Like White Elephants," tells the story of an American man and a girl who is named Jig. They are both sitting outside of a train station in Spain looking across a valley while drinking beer. In “Hills Like White Elephants,” Hemingway discusses the landscape before them, the valley of the Ebro River, that has long white hills. As the American and the girl begin to have a conversation, the girl remarks on the Ebro River of the way it looks. After a while the American asked her if she wanted to do the operation (an abortion which was learned in the author's comment at the end) and explained to her that she would be fine. However, she began to think if she participates in the operation would the American lover still be with her. Nevertheless, the American knows that if the operation is not done he would not be able to do certain things; therefore, he is trying to eliminate the reasons to settle down with Jig. Towards the end of the story, Jig and the American would argue about the operation; even though the American does not want a child.…
