Abstract

In Ernest Hemingway's book, The sun also rises, both the title and epigraph create commentary on the attitude of the characters. By using both a Gertrude Stein quote and a passage from the book of Ecclesiastes, Hemingway shows how his generation was viewing life and, in contrast, how his generation should view life. Without considering the title and epigraph, it becomes easy for the reader to see the entire work as a story filled with hopelessness. However, by understanding the correct context suggested by the title, the reader can then identify with Hemingway's presentation of hope in using proper standards in judging life. More importantly, Robert Cohn is used as a direct parallel to the author of Ecclesiastes to reveal unsound standards used to find happiness.
