Female charcther in the"Hills like white Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway.

 

    Jig, the female character of this history appears as a very young girl, probably twenty year’s old. Hemingway (1927)”The girl” (p.444) the expression used by the author to refer her, is one of the examples that the audience can use to assume the age of Jig. Dreams, hopes and illusions are perfect adjectives to illustrate this character. Hemingway (1927)”The girl was looking of the line of hills.”(p.444).This sentence in the story can reflect how much focusing the girl placed on of her future. Therefore she was not even paying attention to the waitress. Hemingway does not give to the reader any physical description of the girl. This is very unusual on this type of story. Describing the character as skinny or sweet for example can illustrate the protagonist, and gives the audience a better idea of the character .However, Hemingway (1927) “The Girl “(p.444) is a very short expression enclosing a lot of meaning within.
