Hemingway's "In Our Time": Lost Generation
Number of Words: 1402 / Number of Pages: 6
... Our Time's main character Nick, is in fact, Hemingway himself.
It seems as though no matter what age this novel is read at, it could be
discussed as a representation of the "lost generation." What is meant by the
phrase "lost generation?" Possibly it means the loss of a kindlier, friendlier,
period of time. Maybe it means a loss of familiarity, closeness and strength of

generation" themselves. In "The Three- Day Blow," Nick and Bill spend a
leisurely after ...

... Indians; their skin color made it easy to identify their race.

... acts differently when she
is alone than when she is around him.
Another example of her being two sided is the role she talks about
playing in Duncan’s death, and the role that she actually does play in it.
There are a few times in the play, mostly when she is attempting to persuade
Macbeth into committing the murder, that she says he should just leave the
murder to her. Throughout the play she gradually decreases her role in the
murder until it becomes Macbeth’s job to kill Duncan, not hers. This is
another very large trick on her part, but one that Macbeth also fails to see; ...
