Ernest Hemingway’s literary works were influenced by various factors, including his experiences as a journalist, his involvement in World War I, and his global travels. His distinctive writing style reflects a economy of words, sometimes referred to as the iceberg theory, emphasizing subtext and succinctness. Themes of grief, courage, and the human condition permeate his narratives, often portraying characters in moments of crisis. Additionally, his struggles with mental health and the complexities of masculinity in society contributed to the depth and authenticity of his literary voice.
