- Annotation
- Introduces students to Hemingway s thematic treatment of betrayal by previous generations in their unrealistic depiction of warfare, relying mainly on British literature to contextualize the tradition. Tyler discusses several of Hemingway s literal and metaphorical fathers, connecting the violence of war with the violence found in Nick s home. Concludes that Hemingway s goal was to break the cycle of violence and betrayal by writing honestly about war.
