About this book
Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2, 0, Ruhr-University of Bochum (Anglistik/Amerikanistik), course: Academic Skills, language: English, abstract: Hemingway's novels and short stories have always been a topic of discussion among scholars for the last century. Widely discussed are the prevalent themes in his works such as sexuality, masculinity and femininity and other gender related topics. While he is praised by some of them, others view his works more critically. One of the most well-known and considered as the first serious Hemingway scholar is Philip Young. Young's most influential approach towards Hemingway's works is the classification of the male characters into two different categories, the "Code Heroes" and the "Hemingway Heroes".While Young's theory is mostly well-recognized, subject of this paper shall be to prove with the help of Hemingway's short story "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" that it is not always possible to apply it to all of Hemingway's works.
