Though Ernest Hemingway rejects symbolism itself, the basis of his work is symbolic technique. So in order to comprehend his works. it is necessary to analyze his symbolism. This thesis aims to study biblical factors in the works of Hemingway and to show the relations between the biblical factors and subjects of his novels.
A biographer noted that Hemingway’s main characters showed his view of life, universe, and christian mind.
The continuation of this essay deals with analyzation of the male hero so that all of Hemingway’s works can be seen generalization of their catholicism.
Most of the characters who are obsessed with gambling, drinking and sex have lived in Europe.
In my opinion, christian symbolism was developed into the sinful human nature of Jake barnes and Santiago. From reflecting on them, we can see a great deal of changes which had occurred from young Hemingway.
Strictly speaking, it is possible to destroy humans but humans can’t be defeated. The final end of our physical aspect can only be death.
Although the spirit leaves us, the christian legacy of characters remains.
Therefore, it leaves an image of sainthood and heroism that remains with us for a long time.
In conclusion, this thesis reveals that christian symbolism is soaked into Hemingway’s works.
