- Argues for the centrality of Death in the Afternoon s educative purpose for seeing the meaning of violent death beyond the battlefield and the bullfight. Barker invites students to compare Hemingway s treatment of death through the ritualized tragedy of the bullring to the World War I trench warfare memoirs of German writer Ernst J nger. Includes study questions for helping students explore the topics of death, suffering, trauma, and war.
