Ernest Hemingway is an extremely talented writer and has a touch of elegant simplicity in each and every one of his stories and novels. His stories give each reader a look into the adventurous and very masculine side of Ernest Hemingway that not everyone can experience. Ernest Hemingway's stories and novels are works of art and will be great for generations, like Mark Twain. Ernest Hemingway is still a self centered and sometimes greedy man who compensates for a weird childhood by living a very unnecessarily crazy and erratic life.
In his childhood Hemingway never had a strong and masculine father figure, his mother dominated his parent's relationship at a time when men were considered superior to women. Hemingway's mother also treated Hemingway as a daughter as he grew up and at times young Ernest would be actually dressed up as a girl and had his hair cut like a girl. So as Hemingway grew to be an extremely famous writer he would take on things like bullfighting in Spain, swordfish fishing in Cuba, and other extremely masculine activities in order to compensate for the internal manly struggle Hemingway's mom instilled in him. Hemingway tried to create a super masculine aura around himself that today many people see right through, and he is disrespected for it.
Hemingway also writes only about himself and the struggles he felt after war and during relationships he had. As I read my first few Hemingway stories I loved them. The Undefeated was exciting and Indian camp was sad but mysterious. But as I read other stories I noticed a pattern in all of them, 80% of the stories are about a masculine main figure that faces some sort of sad internal struggle. This is the way Hemingway viewed himself so this is what Hemingway wrote about. He never switched up and diversified the characters he used, and this becomes boring.
