DREAMS AND REALITY IN EARLY SHORT FICTION BY ERNEST HEMINGWAY: GENDER ASPECT

Abstract

The article is devoted to social aspects touched by Ernest Hemingway in his early works. The basis of the literary analysis is made by the short stories Cat in the Rain and Hills Like White Elephants. The purpose of the paper is to study an artistic explication of gender relationships. The discussion of the understatement technique used by the writer has shown that these relations are characterized by inequality of partners, thus negatively affecting the conversion of loose ties into a family as the basic unit of a society.
