| Summary: | <p>This study intended to highlight the dual themes of war and love from the perspective</p><p>of Ernest Hemingway. The objectives of this study stated firstly, the portrayal of love</p><p>based on selected novels by Ernest Hemingway, secondly the depiction of the war</p><p>violence and thirdly the impact of the war violence on the image of love and how this</p><p>influence has been portrayed through his fictional characters. Four novels constituted</p><p>the database for this study. The methodology relied on the concepts of the social</p><p>psychology theory as a big umbrella, while Attribution theory as sub-theory was</p><p>employed in carrying out the analysis as a critical study in modern American literature.</p><p>The focus, therefore, would be on the characters acts, actions, and the setting. The</p><p>findings showed that the image of love has been affected by war violence. According</p><p>to the first objective, the researcher found that all the characters of the novels and</p><p>especially the main have portrayed the image of love. Hemingways novels under</p><p>study were about love affairs between heroes and heroines. At the second objective, the</p><p>texts showed that most characters of the novels and especially the main have gone</p><p>through pictorial representation of war violence. This study outlined the futility,</p><p>cruelty, horror and the atrocious reality of war. According to the third objective, the</p><p>researcher found that Hemingway's characters had shown in various ways the influence</p><p>of war violence on the image of love. The conclusion of this study that there is a direct</p><p>and influential effect of war violence on the image of love. It provided a new</p><p>understanding of the war influence on the love, especially, in the countries that had</p><p>participated in the two world wars. The implication of this study indicates</p><p>Hemingways capabilities in depiction of war violence and its influence on the image</p><p>of love to represent a new experienced an anti-war voice, especially in the light of the</p><p>Cold War and the international conflicts that followed.</p> |
