Have you ever read The Old Man and the Sea? In the story, the old fisherman fights bravely against sharks. He never gives up even when he loses everything. He is like Hemingway we all know: a writer of courage and strong spirit. His works help us understand what a real tough man(硬汉) should be. But what was Ernest Hemingway like in real life?
For a long time, people saw Hemingway as a perfect strong man. He took part in wars, and he loved outdoor sports like hunting and fishing. He built a public image(形象) of a brave and active man. His writing style is short and powerful, which also fits his strong public image. However, a new documentary suggests that this perfect image was mostly built by others.
Many people's wrong understanding of Hemingway hides his real self. As the manager of his literary(文学) works said, "People only focus on the perfect image and fail to see the real him, who was far more complex." As a young man, Hemingway liked to show off his war experiences. He often told exciting war stories in his uniform to make money, and he truly enjoyed being the centre of attention. Newspapers often reported his life of hunting, fishing and staying with soldiers, which made him appear very strong and determined.
In fact, his most famous roles in books are not brave hunters or fighters. Instead, they are ordinary men, especially those hurt and helpless people who suffered from wars. These characters are much closer to the real Hemingway. For a long time, he felt sad and worried because of his painful war experiences.
This way of hiding true feelings also appears in his writing style. Hemingway introduced the famous "Iceberg Theory(冰山理论)". In his opinion, only a small part of a story is shown on the surface, while the deeper true meaning lies hidden behind the words. He changed American literature with his simple and direct writing style, which still influences writers today. The documentary does not provide many new facts about his life, but it is still valuable. It makes people rethink what a true strong man is.
