The Sun Also Rises is the first important novel by Hemingway that attracted wide public interest. He portrayed post-war expatriate American lifestyle then in fashion. And was thus regarded as a representative writer of the lost generation. He created a very special male character type that resides in a male world aloof from female governance. With his boy-like male characters and distinctive hard-boiled style he has contributed much to American literature. He has also contributed in making American literature which deals with international themes and surroundings. Nobody in The Sun Also Rises feels safe and secure from the war shock―physically or mentally. Jake Barnes becomes impotent from a bomb explosion and cannot unite with Brett physically although he truly loves her. Bill Gorton cannot sleep well at night because of the noise from his ears. Robert Cohn carries racial inferiority of the Jew since his Princeton days. To overcome this inferiority, he gets hard training to be a middle-weight champion at Princeton in his youth. Brett Ashley lost her first love in the war and suffers from her ex-husband’s violence and she is proceeding a divorce. All the characters in this novel seem insecure and unpredictable. Jake and Bill start their trip to Spain. They meet Cohn in Bayonne and resume their trip to Pamplona. After that they are scattered to move in different directions. Brett and Mike follow Jake to Pamplona but Cohn disturbs their trip. Cohn bursts into violence at Mike, Jake and Romero, thereby destroying San Fermin festival to the distaste of Montoya. Mike also cannot control his temper due to his financial uncertainty. Consequently, The Sun Also Rises can be regarded as a representative novel of the post war generation reflecting the insecure and embarrassed life styles of the lost generation.
