Abstract

Hills Like White Elephants is one of the short stories written by American writer Ernest Hemingway, which is mainly about conversations between an American man and a girl who are arguing about whether she should receive an abortion procedure when waiting for an express train from Barcelona to Madrid. This paper aims to analyse the protagonists’ predicament through stylistics of fiction as a research perspective and comes to a conclusion that facing the disillusion of traditional values and the dysfunction of original morality under the attack of wars, the protagonists are the representatives of “the lost generation” who suffers the trauma and wanders around the world, only to find out there’s no corner for them to rest and elude away the loneliness.
海明威《白象山》中主人公的困境
《白象山》是美国作家欧内斯特·海明威的短篇小说之一,主要讲述了一个美国男人和一个女孩在等待从巴塞罗那到马德里的快车时就是否应该接受堕胎手术而争论不休的对话。本文旨在以小说文体学为研究视角,分析主人公的困境,得出结论:面对战争冲击下传统价值观的幻灭和原始道德的功能失调,主人公是“迷惘的一代”的代表,他们承受着创伤,在世界各地流浪,却发现无处休息,无处遁形。
