In the video lecture on Hemingway's stories of war and recovery, I asked you to consider the following elements as they emerge in the stories:Hemingway's use of irony (particularly understatement)The disillusionment that follows wartime experiencesThe effects of physical and psychological woundsFeelings of helplessnessAttempts at maintaining and/or regaining control over one's emotions or situationThe connection between war, wounds, and masculinity1. Write an analytical response (350 words minimum) showing how two or more of these ideas connect or overlap. In your response, discuss at least two stories in detail and incorporate the insights found in at least one of the critical essays assigned. For example, you could discuss how the effects of physical/psychological wounds result in Hemingway's characters feeling helpless and struggling to gain control over their situation. In doing so, you might incorporate the words/ideas of Gabriela Tucan's essay "Wounded Bodies and Lost Voices in Hemingway's War Stories of Italy." That's just one example. There are countless ways to approach this assignment. Explore the stories that you find most intriguing.
