They were very weak in personality which was described “Oh, yes. But I don’t care about me. And I’ll do it and then everything will be fine.”“I don’t want you to do it if you feel that way.” (Hemingway, 65). This portrays that she has disregarded any feeling that she may have about having an abortion and is going to have one for his well being and satisfaction. She has lowered herself expectations in life to satisfy someone else’s.
They soon order another round of beers, and the man comments that he wants her to have an operation, but he never says what kind of operation he wants her to have. He acts frustrated and tries to avoid the importance of the operation. He says that the operation would be easy, but then says the operation isn’t one at all. The girl is quiet for a while, but then she asks the man is everything would be fine after the operation. The man agrees with her statement and even adds that everything would be like before.
Juliet, however, wants to remain faithful to her banished husband and refuses. Her nurse, who supported their quiet relationship, suddenly changes her mind and sides with Lord Capulet. Having nowhere else to go, Juliet seeks Friar Lawrence to ask for his advice on how to approach this dilemma, and even threatens to kill
You know how I get when I worry,” as if to make her understand his actions through a simple guilt of him worrying (59, Hemingway). He gives no comfort to Jig, no actions are done to help her through what she’s going through. Hemingway writes a great story in dialog, leaving it up to the reader to make inferences based on the facts given so that they can figure out the story and the characters. The reader infers that Jig and the American’s relationship has come to an end and that Jig and the American don’t want the same things in life. The reader also infers that Jig may at first appear helpless but later she reveals that she’s ready to make her own decision.
I think he didn’t let go because he still could see the hope in her eyes and hear the hope in her voice that she thought he would get better.. Even thou they want to go they still don’t want their love ones to suffer. We never want to let go of our love ones because it hurts. We have to do what is best for them and not us. We have to realize that they are the ones in pain and that they are just prolonging what they know is going to happen.
Claudio was too scared to confront Hero and confess his feelings and so Don Pedro promised that he would speak to Leonato about setting them up. But this still scared Claudio and he can’t tell Hero he loves her so Don Pedro said he’ll organise something where he can pretend to be Claudio and fix them up and admit his feelings towards her as Claudio. Personally, I think it might be a bit strange to have the Prince chat up the girl that Claudio loves but as long as his love is returned, everything shall be
Define observation and inference. After careful reading of Ernest Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants”, it is very clear what it’s purpose is. The story takes place in the Ebro River valley of Spain, where an American man and his female companion Jig are waiting for a train and having drinks discussing “doing it”. Obviously, by “doing it”, they’re referring to whether or not they should have an abortion. At the end of the story, we can only assume that they decide to go through with the abortion, when Jig tells the American male “I don’t care about me.” The man goes and haves a drink by himself and return to his companion.
Jig is referred to as a girl, but she is in fact a young woman faced with the problem many young women find themselves faced with. She is pregnant and in a relationship with a man who is superficial and not interested in pursuing a deep and meaningful life together with her. Hemingway used the hills to represent the ups and downs of life. Just when we get to the top of one, we realize that we have to climb another. I think that Jig saw her pregnancy and the challenges that it would bring as wonderful.
Love has so many ending. I can't get what I want to end, so why don't I just let him go. I will go to the court and tell them that I'm the witch. That was what I should got and that would be the only way to save the love between me and John. I love him, so I'm not supposed to hurt him and I don't want to hurt him.
This gives you a visual of where they are and sets a tone for the story. (2) The conversation between The American and the girl he calls Jig, seem uneasy. You get the idea that there is something wrong. After tasting the drink the man orders, the girl comments on its taste and having to wait a lengthy time for something. The man’s response, “Oh cut it out,” supports the assumption that there is a problem in their relationship.
