Earticle

The essay analyses the male characters mainly Nick-Hemingway’s short stories through the prism of psychoanalytic theories. It demonstrates how Hemingway’s male characters fail to serve their role as a man, and eventually come to lose their masculinity in terms of relationship with a woman and father. I, thereby, aim to challenge the established literary interpretation of Hemingway’s hero or masculinity in his fiction. In this critiquing, I focus on the theories of Freud and Lacan.
Hemingway’s men, especially the recurring Nick in the fiction appear to be very controlling and even violent, through which is defined by active, outdoor activities such as fishing, hunting, and womanizing. Yet, this power exists only on the surface. They are, on the contrary, confused, venerable and incomplete. I attempt to reconstruct masculinity of Hemingway’s short fiction in the light of the characters’ employment of language and psychic minds. I will primarily use Freud’s theories of id, ego, super-ego, and Oedipus Complex, and Lacan’s theories of mirror stage and unconscious in the analysis. We, henceforth, would witness Hemingway’s men are no longer the icons of masculinity as it has always been believed to be.
