Many people believe that being ambitious is always a good thing. However, it is not. Ambition is not an overall bad thing, but it's not 100% virtuous either. Before I could begin my essay, I had to sit and actually evaluate the word itself. Many people have ambitions in life.

Ernest Hemingway’s novel, The Sun Also Rises, is a story that may seem underwhelming to the average audience, for to them the characters seem linear and are full of cliches, the story builds up to an anticlimactic ending, and it makes the reader contemplate the whole point of the adventure. But to the person with a palette for literature, The Sun Also Rises is everything but a bore; it is a ride of emotion, symbolism, progression, and character development, adding to that an ending that leaves the reader nodding in appreciation of how everything wraps up perfectly in a complete thematic message.

In her article, “Character Studies: Lady Brett Ashley,” published in the Paris Review, LaCava noted, “How heavenly to not worry what anyone thought, to engage in the forbidden pleasures of alcohol and sex” (para. 8). This is how the majority of people portrayed life at this time, but there were more underlying feelings. War injuries, feelings of masculine inferiority, and longing to find the perfect prince charming, plague the characters. Drinking and being

Over the course of the summer I had been debating about which book to read. The Great Gatsby jumped out at me first, but the library had given its last copy out the week before. I scoured through the library computer system to see which books on the list were available and I stumbled across The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway. Since it was one of the only books available on a short time, not too long, and had a pretty cover, I decided it was the right choice without knowing what it was about.

Ernest Hemingway, one of the most influential American novelist of 20th century, wrote his famous novel, The Sun Also Rises, to show the experiences of Americans who moved to European countries. In his book, he tried to show the differences between different cultures and how some people, like his main character Jake Barnes, are fascinated with it and from the first day of the

The sun also rises is a book that takes a very peculiar view on gender roles in the society. It takes place right after World War I, in a time where all the veterans of the war come back to the real world and figure out that they have lost all masculinity and become very insecure. One of the main characters of the book has relationship problems due to a war wound and the woman he loves actually ends up being the most masculine person in the novel. Although Ernest Hemingway presents Brett as a very independent, masculine, and selfish woman, there are some indirect notions throughout the book that the reader picks up on that shows her as a character that really does have feelings for Jake but she is too full of herself to show them. The novel’s repetitiveness of going to bars, drinking and dancing every single night, reveals the meaningless lives they all seem to live.

Robert Cohn said in Ernest Hemingway’s novel that “ You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another. There's nothing to it.” Cohn, like the other characters in the story wanted to find a place of self satisfaction and wordley value. In Ernest Hemingway’s novel, The Sun Also Rises, Struggle, pain, and worthlessness, are evident throughout the novel, that the characters can not escape. Based in the early 1990’s, not long after the war, everyone has seen more than they wish to, and long to see and feel calm, and peace with life situations and themselves. War injuries, feelings of masculine inferiority, and longing to find the perfect prince charming, plague the characters. Drinking, and being surrounded

These similarities make us believe that Hemingway was recounting his post-war experiences through the lives of the characters in the book. Characters in The Sun Also Rises are considered part of the “lost generation”, a term created by Gertrude Stein to describe the generation that grew up in post-war society. By no coincidence Hemingway is also part of this generation. Post-war life for the characters in the book consists of heavy drinking and partying, a sort of escape from the real world, and the same was a reality for Hemingway. Although France and all of Europe are in shambles after the war, the characters seem to be rejecting reality, partying it up in Paris and living a severely escapist lifestyle. This situation mimics the one Hemingway was actually in after WWI. The war’s effect on Hemingway can be told through the characters as each one represents part of his experience. Using a new historicist critical point of view and putting the story in context with the war and Hemingway’s life allows the reader to discover these connections and be able to more deeply analyze the significance of the book.
