deal to the American literature, Hemingway had a legendary life experience: He came into being a journalist for the Kansas City Star after school and then being a soldier in the First World War, which provided him with a serious physical wound. Actually, he also took part in the Second World War and the Spanish Civil War, again wounded physically and spiritually. That is why his works are usually related to the subject of war. And then he went to Paris where he met some famous writers who helped him a lot in his writing. With such rich personal experience, Hemingway wrote out many excellent works which fully reflected his unique writing style and his unique writing style gradually came into being. Gabriel Garcia Marquez, a famous Colombian writer, who had ever said that he was greatly affected by Hemingway, held that Hemingway builds up a reputation for himself just for his short stories. As a matter of fact, contrasting with Hemingway’s long fictions, such as The Sun Also Rises(1926), A Farewell to Arms(1929), For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940)and his The Old Man and the Sea(1952) which are well-known today, his short stories are not very familiar to readers as his fictions mentioned above. However, it doesn’t mean that his short stories are less artful than his long fictions. They are also highly estimated. And among all of Hemingway’s short stories, Hills Like White Elephants is undoubtedly to be a classic one, which was quite worth reading and one of the most typical short stories in the 20th century.
As we all know, Hills Like White Elephants was written in 1927 and was an important piece in Hemingway’s second collection of short stories---Men Without Women. It is a simple but artful story and the content of it just can be condensed to
one sentence that an American man tries to persuade a girl to have an operation when they are waiting for the train at a station. The whole story consists of the simple and usual dialogues of the two figures, and the focus of them are just roused by a metaphor that “the hills like white elephants”, made by the girl. But obviously, the man doesn’t pay his attention to such focus, for he is fully occupied in persuading the girl to have the operation. Obviously, tense conversation ensues between the man and the girl, and the story ends without any clear resolution, leaving the reader to find the possible outcomes. In general, that is the feature of Hemingway’s writing style.
For the Hills Like White Elephants, many comments had been made upon it, but the one from Milan Kundera, a famous Czech writer, is undoubtedly profound and perfect. In Milan Kundera’s Les testaments trahis, he spends many words to talk about the Hills Like White Elephants, especially make a striking contrast between the plain dialogue structure of Hemingway and the dialogue structure in the drama to give prominence to the simplicity, the clarity, the lucidity, the beauty and the melody of Hemingway’s plain dialogue. And his explanation of the figures’ characters and the hidden story is penetrating. Of course, the dialogue structure emphasized by Kundera is just one aspect of Hemingway’s unique writing style, but the other styles aren’t mentioned. Apart from Milan Kundera, there are many other critics that give different narratives of the Hills Like White Elephants from one or more than one aspects of Hemingway’s writing style, the relationship between the male and female basing on the female’s views, etc. However, if taking the w
