“Symbols of autonomy” Hemingway

Hemingway’s use of symbolism indicates a sympathy for his female characters.

This article examines the “symbols of autonomy” Hemingway employs in “Hills like White Elephants.” While Jig appears not to have any power in her relationship, this author argues that she exerts her feelings of autonomy through symbolic references to femininity and pregnancy, specifically the eponymous hills. This article will help support my thesis by suggesting that Jig’s rhetorical strategy of symbolically referencing (her) pregnancy is a method of exerting mental power over her patriarchal lover. By writing Jig as a 1920s’ woman with very little power using her unwanted (at least by her lover) pregnancy as leverage for power within her relationship, Hemingway indicates a sympathy for women’s political positions both socially and in terms of body autonomy in the United States
