Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By conducting close reading and manuscript examination on Ernest Hemingway’s short stories of early 1920s, this study articulates the hidden characteristics of Hemingway’s writing theory of omission---“Principle of Iceberg.” By way of examining in detail the rhetorical stylizations embedded in the following six works, such as 1. “Light of the World,” 2. “The Sea Change,” 3.“Cat in the Rain,” 4. “A Simple Enquiry,” 5. “In Another Country,” 6. “Hills Like White Elephants,”this research argues that such writing technique aims to generate effects of not only concealment, but also ambiguity that constitutes subversion, fallibility, oxymoron, and aporia in literary space.
