Hemingway's "The Killers", Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe Dec 2002

Hemingway's "The Killers", Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe

Charlie Sweet

In his seminal study Hemingway and the Dead Gods, John Killinger relates Papa's fictional world to existententialism, concluding that Hemingway sees that individuality is not a quality which can be superimposed externally on a man, but that it must be internally achieved by a decision to be at all times an authentic person and to accept the full responsibility of action proper to a primary agent. In his philosophy, as in that of Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Sartre, the opportunity for such a decision is presented as a moment of crisis, which, for him, is produced by confronting death or violence.

King Of The Bingo Game, Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe Dec 1999

King Of The Bingo Game, Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe

Charlie Sweet

Critics have long recognized symbolism as one of Ralph Ellison's favorite devices. However, a lesser-known technique, juxtaposition, illuminates the racism theme so prominent in his classic short story "King of the Bingo Game." By contrasting the main character's major fantasy with his real-life situation, Ellison makes more poignant the gap between white and black America in the 1930s.
