As much as the characters themselves, the Hemingway Text grapples with the instability of modern gender relations, unsure of what how to function within this newly disillusioned existence. Jake Barnes, the protagonist of The Sun Also Rises, speaks to this overwhelming need to find news way of living: “I did not care what it was all about. All I wanted to know was how to live in it. Maybe if you found out how to live in it if you learned from what it was all about” (152). Repeatedly, these works struggle to reconcile the unmanned masculine figure, unable to fulfill the Code, with the New Woman, radical in her inherent transgression of traditional values.

This essay performs an in-depth analysis of the feminist patterns of “Hills Like White Elephants”. This reading reevaluates the text’s meaning and shows the reader that it in fact is a feminist text. I argue that if the text is read with this gender perspective in mind, it is clear that Jig succeeds in protecting her own unborn child. I also argue that HLWE is a true feminist text, since it shows us not only the power and will of a woman but it also strongly critiques the American and his manner of conducting himself. The text starts out with an introduction which is followed by an analysis of Jig’s point of view and a linguistic analysis of the text. The last part of the essay consists of a step by step close reading of  ”Hills Like White Elephants.”

This study examines the reproduction of universal gender differences through the construction of masculine and feminine identities, the development of unconscious personality traits in an environment where women mother, and the role of external influences such as sex-role ideology and socialization outside the home using feminist developmental theory and two texts, Hemingway's The Nick Adams Stories and Munro's Lives of Girls and Women. Chapter 1 establishes masculine and feminine characteristics of gender identity through a close examination of Dr. Henry Adams and Ida Jordan, the parents of the two protagonists. Chapter 2 looks at the development of unconscious gender traits through the development of Nick Adams and Del Jordan. The role of the mother-child relationship and the father-child relationship in the creation of personality will also be examined. Chapter 3 examines the result of this process, the mature Nick Adams and Del Jordan, in their respective environments outside the home, paying particular attention to the protagonists' responses to social expectations of role behaviour. In conclusion, this study contends that gender and personality traits are reproduced through social organization and socialization and may be reinforced through literature. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
