- Annotation
- Relates Hemingway s work to philosophical pessimism and the literary genre of tragedy. Drawing on German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer s theories to analyze elements of the novel, such as Jake s wound, ritualized blood sports, and use of the word hell, Schmigalle aims to foster a greater appreciation of the author among critics who mistakenly view him as simple and superficial.
