Ernest Heminway was interested in the delineation of characters as well as different facets of man’s life through the characters of the novels. Hemingway’s first novel, The Sun Also Rises is about ups and down of man’s life. The work conveys a sense of life's emptiness and futility. Hemingway paints a humorous portrait of man's struggle to survive against overwhelming obstacles as the story moves forward. Hemingway makes the claim that there is always joy after sadness and brightness after darkness. This research paper makes an honest attempt to defend Hemingway's outlook on life that is optimistic and upbeat. Aside from these viewpoints, Hemingway employs a character in his book to represent something significant in people's lives at the moment. By offering some solid justifications, we shall use this article to demonstrate the validity of the aforementioned symbolism.
