- Annotation
- Outlines the progression of Hemingway s fictional portrayal of old age and its relationship to death over his lifetime. Identifies three distinct phases of this evolution: aged minor characters as symbols of death remote from youthful protagonists; aged minor characters as distorted and marginalized, but dignified; and aged characters as central protagonists who actively search for meaningful death. Treats The Sun Also Rises, A Clean, Well-Lighted Place, Old Man at the Bridge, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Old Man and the Sea.
