Throughout his various works, novelist Ernest Miller Hemingway conveys a variety of literary themes accompanied with an almost indistinguishable style. As an intellectual who reached maturity during the era of World War I, deeming him a member of the “Lost Generation”, who also lived to witness the horrors of World War II, Hemingway explores themes such as fatalistic heroism, criticisms of society, disillusionment (a common theme amongst Lost Generation writers), and the meaning, or lack thereof, of life. Overall, his works delve into the complexities of human nature, using his first-hand experiences with external conflict as somewhat of a guide to exploring the even larger internal conflict within the common person. This focus on a particular set of themes stems from his belief that “all things truly wicked start from innocence.” (Hemingway)
