- Annotation
- Interprets the story as a biblical allegory of Paradise Lost, reading the Macombers as a prelapsarian Adam and Eve, created but living uncomfortably in androgyny, becoming individuated sexually after their fall, which brings destruction and death. Points out other similar androgynous couplings in Hemingway s canon, beginning with The Sun Also Rises and ending with The Garden of Eden.
