What I had forgotten about is the dialogue which, at times, reads like Shakespeare or the King James version of the Bible (thee, thou, thy, canst, doest) This I don't quite understand.
I now was able to approach Hemingway's work from the perspective of an author, not just as another assignment to be completed in sophomore English.Īs I tried to do in my own novel, Henry's Pride( the American Civil War), Hemingway portrays the brutal reality of war from the viewpoint of ordinary individual participants (in this case, partisans fighting against Franco's fascist army.) The characters are real, diverse, and dramatic each with both good points and flaws. It was the first time I had read it since college and I must say that I got a lot more out of it this time.
First of all, I did not read the "Sparks Notes", I read the entire unabridged book.
