- Annotation
- Noting changes in birth rates and child rearing practices during the early twentieth century, Gillette outlines the debate central to the era when to have children and how much affection/ emotion to express toward them. Gillette examines the crisis of communication that occurs between both couples as they contemplate abortion, asserting that in Hills Like White Elephants the couple s attempt to control their emotions leads to greater conflict. Compares both works to uncover their authorial anxiety over the influence of literature on the modern family.
