Title: Hemingway s "Francis Macomber" in Pirandellian and Freudian Perspectives
Author/Creator: Horst Breuer
Publication Details: Studies in American Fiction, Vol.31(2), pp.233-248
Annotation: Catalogues possible models for the story s main characters (including Philip Percival, Pauline Pfeiffer, and Hemingway himself) along with literary sources. Notes parallels in plot and characterization with Luigi Pirandello s novel, Quaderni di Serafino Gubbio Operatore (1915). Provides a psychoanalytic reading of Wilson as the idealized father-figure, Macomber as the immature son, and Margot as the mother-imago of the infantile scenario, emotionally cold, controlling, intrusive.
