Heroism is a Favorite Characteristic in Ernest Hemingway’s Works
Introduction
Hemingway’s Heroism is defined by a fixed set of optimistic characteristics. This distinctiveness remains essentially the same throughout all of Hemingway’s literal works. The Hemingway Hero is always courageous, confident, and thoughtful. He does not let his fears get to him. The Hemingway Hero is expressed differently in each of his novels, though. Sometimes he is young, and sometimes old. In Hemingway’s novels “The Nick Adams Stories” and “The Old Man and the Sea”, the Hero is initiated in a different way. In “The Nick Adams Stories”, Nick Adams begins as a adolescent, young boy then becomes the Hero within the view of the reader as his early life and the occurrences that influenced his life most are the entirety of this memoir-style novel. In “The Old Man and the Sea’, though, the old man does not develop into a hero. Santiago begins as an old man who has already achieved the Heroic qualities that he will exhibit intentionally throughout the rest of the story. Nick, the main character in “The Nick Adams Stories”, is in many ways is like Hemingway himself. Setting up camp and fishing and cooking by himself, Nick lifts his spirits by creating his own personal utopian thought. He remains and is static, unchanging example of Hemingway’s optimistic of heroism. In fact, Nick Adams is probably the most autobiographical sketch of Hemingway’s characters. Instead he relied, like Nick Adams, on finding his own escape from reality, making his own “good place”. Like Nick Adams, Hemingway establishes nature to be the best escape for him from his disturbed world.
In fact to a study of Hemingway in general is the concept of the Hemingway’s hero, sometimes more popularly known as the “code hero.” When Hemingway’s novels first began to appear they were eagerly accepted by the American reading community; in fact, they were passionately received. Part of this reception was due to the fact that Hemingway had shaped a new type of fictional character whose basic response to life appealed very strappingly to the people of the 1920s. At first the average reader saw in the Hemingway’s hero a type of person whom he could recognize with in almost a dream sense.
The present study has been made to portray the Hemingway’s heroism in the light of the tradition of hero-quest, to view him in a heroic prospective. Further it aims at portraying the mythological heroes in their search for identity, where they reflect upon the “essential facts of life,” unlike Hemingway’s quest in his hunting saga “ideals single perfect shot” shares a common narrative pattern is of much significance that goes beyond the individual work. The hero is a human being. He embodies human self-esteem. The later aspect is very strong in the so-called romantic hero, whatever may be the other aspects of his personality, is always a person with a deep sense of dignity.
