Hills Like White Elephants theme

Answer 2

Hills Like White Elephants is a story that represents a kind of writing style that Hemingway is very famous for, 'the-tip-of-the-ice-burg' form.

Hemingway, in the story constructs a particular scene and he makes the reader something akin to a passer-by in the scene who happens to hear the conversation between the characters near him. The reader like the person who over-hears the conversation is left only a bit of the thing told and the larger part of the mystery, untold.

This implies that the reader is left with the choice to intepret the happening or the meaning of the conversaion in whatever way he feels right. Or he is responsible, like a detective, for understanding the larger idea, cause and meaning of the scene by analysing, investigating and exploring the not-so-obvious underlying meaning of the conversation with the little hints that are inadvertantly revealed within the conversation

This tip-of-the-ice presentation of a story does nothing but plays the role of making the reader understand the bigmeaning with whatever little has been given to him for exploration. Or he must amass the bits and pieces of the information and construct an idea of which the story was trying to convey.

In no way precisely than this seemingly deceptive and misleading form of the-tip-of-the-ice are the readers led to the state of indeterminacy; making the readers unable to explore anything concrete as the meaning of the story.
