Abstract

This paper analyzes heroism as central theme in Hemingway’s work. Most of his novels 

are primarily studies of death or simply researches regarding the lost generation. They are 
essentially the portrayal of a hero, the man who through the force of some extraordinary qualities 
sets the standards for those around him. Hemingway has always kept four subjects in his mind 
when writing. These four subjects which have always fascinated Hemingway are fishing , 
hunting , bullfighting and war, in which all have shown some type of international aspects , but
most of Hemingway’s novels are studies of death . They are portrayals of a hero, but a hero who 
struggles and perceives of death progressing on the path of heroism.
