Ernest Hemingway, a renowned American author, is celebrated for his unique literary style and profound thematic depth, earning him a place as one of the most globally influential writers of the 20th century. His works have crafted a series of acclaimed "tough guy" personas, illustrating humanity's resilience and indomitability in the face of adversity. However, deeper exploration and interpretation of his writings have gradually unveiled that Hemingway's depiction of female characters is equally rich and diverse, embodying significant social and spiritual implications. In Hemingway's oeuvre, female figures are no longer mere backdrops or foils to male protagonists but are endowed with independent social statuses and rich spiritual connotations. Positioned against the backdrop of society, Hemingway delves into the inner worlds and life experiences of women, portraying their tenacity and bravery amidst challenges through his delicate narrative style. This shift not only enhances the artistic expressiveness of Hemingway's works but also offers valuable insights and inspiration for subsequent generations of women's literary endeavors.
