'They look like white elephants,' she said.” (Hemingway, 1927) Hills like White Elephants, by Ernest Hemingway, is a short story published in 1927. The story starts off with a couple, defined as the American and the girl with him, walking into a bar attached to a train station. They are waiting for the express train from Barcelona to Madrid. Hemingway never specifically says in the story what the couple is discussing but there is a lot of symbolism within the story that suggest abortion is the topic. Hills Like White Elephants has some of my the most powerful symbolism in literary history.
Since Martha never mentions the war in her letters, it becomes easy for him to imagine her as a symbol of love outside of the war. Although Martha does not return his affection, he continues to love her because he can not stop loving all that she represents to him. Martha returns in the next chapter, as Cross explains his interactions with Martha after the war. As he tries to hold her hand and proclaim his love for her, she is tragically indifferent, and it
Leonato’s niece called Beatrice asked the messenger if Benedick of Padua had returned and she found out that he had befriended Claudio! Beatrice then had a conversation with Benedick after interrupting his conversation with other men, but this conversation wasn’t a caring one, it was a conversation with insults and witty comments being thrown back and forth!

I then overheard Claudio ask Benedick if he noticed Leonato’s daughter but in reply, Benedick made fun of Hero’s height and appearance which I don’t think he meant, but then again, Claudio

Jennifer Marinella English Comp 2 Hills Like White Elephants Although this story, “Hills like White Elephants” seems like two people casually having a conversation while drinking a few beers, it is actually a discussion about abortion. The theme of the story being abortion and that it is a subject not many agree to talk about it, there are many symbols showing us this theme. In this story, it very well shows that the girl will go through with the abortion to only make the man shut up as she states “would you please please please please stop talking”. Although the man says that he does not want her to do anything she does not want to do, she feels as he will only stay with her if she gets the operation. There are many different points throughout this story where the girl continues to second guess the operation.
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.
