- Annotation
- Surveys prayer scenes throughout Hemingway s major works, arguing that instead of utilizing the beliefs and rituals of a specific religion, Hemingway samples from a variety, often in opposition with one another, in his search for spiritual relief. Reading prayer as a gauge of morality, Curnutt analyzes how Hemingway s protagonists in In Our Time, The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Old Man and the Sea adapt rituals in a meaningful way to bring order and balance to the chaotic modern world.
