- Annotation
- Argues that both Hemingway s For Whom the Bell Tolls and Orwell s Homage to Catalonia (1938) use the backdrop of war to retrospectively raise ethical and epistemic questions regarding the choices, commitments, and sacrifices one makes within the limitations of personal knowledge. Contends that Hemingway and Orwell concluded one s only duty was to do one s best. Specifically explores Robert Jordan s choice to accept his fatal mission in the face of love and a seemingly unwinnable war.
