Hills Like White Elephants


Hills Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway

               I’ve read a handful of Hemingway’s works; and when I saw his name on the title of the story, I expected myself to be scratching my head by the end of the story. True enough, I was. The fact that it was all so confusing made me want to know about what these symbolic meanings and clever wording actually mean. I already got the impression that Jig was pregnant by the first mention of an “operation” for some reason. I had to read it several times, though to completely understand the story.
