Descriptions

• %ake: the narrator: as a reticent descriptor• &he narrator is not identi'ed at a precise point in time and space: more real

than other narratives

• &errence oody in *Hemingway’s +tyle and %ake’s ,arration-: the narratornever away rom Hemingway and not ree enough to *substantiate his ownagency as the narrator-(#!.)

• /e may see in the novel that %ake does not talk about himsel unless accidentally:eg in the middle o a dialogue0 he admits his impotency: *He had been goingsplendidly0 but he stopped 1 was araid he thought he had hurt me with that crackabout being impotent 1 wanted to start him again- (!2")

• His passivity in descriptions o time and place3 mind the repetition o and in this

description:

• *&he driver helped us down with the bags &here was a crowd o kids watching the

car0 and the s4uare was hot0 and the trees were green0 and the 5ags hung on theirstafs0 and it was good to get out o the sun and under the shade o the arcade thatruns all the way around the s4uare 6ontoya was glad to see us0 and shook handsand gave us good rooms looking out on the s4uare0 and then we washed andcleaned up and went down7stairs in the dining7room or lunch &he driver stayed orlunch0 too0 and aterward we paid him and he started back to 8ayonne- ("!)


4/9

• escription o bull'ghting scenes in the climatic moments o thenovel: again concise0 but more moving and descriptive: perhaps0because %ake does not see the absurdity o everyday lie at thismoment

• *1 leaned way over the wall and tried to see into the cage 1t was dark +ome onerapped on the cage with an iron bar 1nside something seemed to eplode &hebull0 striking into the wood rom side to side with his horns0 made a great noise

&hen 1 saw a dark mu99le and the shadow o horns0 and then0 with a clattering onthe wood in the hollow bo0 the bull charged and came out into the corral0skidding with his oreeet in the straw as he stopped0 his head up0 the great humpo muscle on his neck swollen tight0 his body muscles 4uivering as he looked up atthe crowd on the stone walls &he two steers backed away against the wall0 theirheads sunken0 their eyes watching the bull &he bull saw them and charged

man shouted rom behind one o the boes and slapped his hat against theplanks0 and the bull0 beore he reached the steer0 turned0 gathered himsel andcharged where the man had been0 trying to reach him behind the planks with a

hal7do9en 4uick0 searching drives with the right horn- (!#")

• &he same goes or the description o 8elmonte (the amous bull'ghter)3

%ake seems completely absorbed (p !".)

Narration of Feelings (~ streamof consciousness)

• %ake’s passivity about his own eelings• gain etensive use o and0 possibly implying reticence and

attempt in keeping passivity3 or di;culty o thinking

were some wonderul big windows 1 knelt and started to pray andprayed or everybody 1 thought o0 8rett and 6ike and 8ill and

6ike helped me up +ome one poured a carae o water on my head 6ikehad an arm around me0 and 1 ound 1 was sitting on a chair 6ike waspulling at my ears- (!?#)

• 6errit 6oseley’s *@aulkner’s 8enjy0 Hemingway’s %ake-0 arguing thatwhile 8enjy’s objectivity is a sign o abnormality or idiocy0 %ake’s is *aniron control0 seldom relaed0 over volatile emotions- (.2.)
