4. Characteristics of Hemingway’s Hero
• His typical hero shares one of many of Hemingway’s
ideals.
• Hero leads a life of action, has courage and dignity, is
wounded, and shows strong points in the hours of
distress or tension.
• According to Philip Young, who propounded the theory
of two heroes-“The Hemingway hero”, and “the code-
hero”, the “code-hero”, adds Young, alludes to the
Hemingway hero who lives by the code of manhood,
courage, fearlessness, stoicism and “grace under
pressure”.

5. Hello there!
Continue..
• Philip Young defines the code-hero as “made
of the controls of honour and courage which in
a life of tension and pain make a man and
distinguish him from the people who follow
random impulses, let down their hair, and are
generally messy, perhaps cowardly, and
without inviolable rules for how to live holding
tight”.

6. Robert Jordan
• Robert Jordan is also a man of action rather than a man of
thought.
• Jordan carefully balances between his duties he shows his
maturity and responsibility.
• Allen Josephs, a Hemingway scholar at the University of West
Florida, says Hemingway created Jordan as a Communist, but
changed his affiliation to “anti-Fascist”

7. Continue...
• His fight is for liberty, equality and Fraternity as he himself
says.‘You believe in Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. You
believe In life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness ... If
this … war is lost all of those things are lost.’ (P.289)

8. Jordan and Hemingway

real life, as a

9. Comparison with other hero of Hemingway
• Federic is self centered and
nihilistic
• Jordan is committed to certain
abstract values.
• Jordan love for Maria does not
come as an obstacle in the way
of his work.
• Federic Love for Catherine does
not come in the way of his
larger concerns for humanity.
• Jordan carefully balances
between his duties and his
recreation.
• Frederic Henry shows his
capacity for pleasure while
acting under pressure and
stress, but it does not mean
as utter disregard to duty.

10. Conclusion

freedom and his continuous involvement in these
possibilities which give meaning to his existence.
• It is his commitment or being in action that gives
sustaining power to his existence.
• He feels after achieving his mission makes him a hero
who lives for freedom and authenticity.
