Page No. : 97-101
ABSTRACT
Ernest Hemingway, one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, has often been scrutinized for his portrayal of women in literature. While many critics argue that his works reinforce patriarchal ideologies, others contend that Hemingway’s female characters exhibit complexity, agency, and depth that challenge conventional gender roles. This paper examines the representation of women in Hemingway’s major novels and short stories, analyzing their relationships with male protagonists, their autonomy, and the evolving themes of gender dynamics in his works. Through a close reading of A Farewell to Arms, The Sun Also Rises, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and select short stories, this paper explores how Hemingway’s depiction of women reflects the shifting social landscape of the early 20th century and his own complicated views on masculinity and femininity.
