Hemingway’s Hills Like White Elephants
By Edward Campbell Hemingway doesn’t tell us that his story is about abortion and, without being told, one who is not familiar with abortion would not have guessed the topic of discussion between the man and the girl. He showed his command of the techniques of realism by making his fiction correspond to the reality of people like him who have experienced similar difficulties. But only those so initiated are capable of understanding the theme of the tale.
