The Killers of substance
The Killers is a short story of Ernest Miller Hemingway. I only spend 15 minutes on reading it. It has no ups and downs of the plot. But the theme is profound. Its distinctive writing style shows Hemingway’s iceberg theory. By using unique narrative style, Hemingway, in his many great books, constructed the harmonious relationship between the works and the readers.
In this story did not intense shaking and describe the killers’cruelty. The plot completely depends on the characters’dialogue. Through it to show the character s’ personality characteristics. A total of seven main characters in the story, the existence of any one character is essential to reveal the theme.
George, is a little older than Nick. When he in the face of the two killers to kill Ollie Andreessen, more is numb with cold. He admitted the existence of the violence, and tried his best to adapt it. He is a symbol of is step into society. He does not like Sam (nigger) was terrified, and wanted to escape from a distance of violence hurt, stay away. Sam only an ordinary people, he just wanted to protest himself. Ollie Andreessen is a fighter which is the most tragic characters in the story, when known that someone wants to kill him, but did not escape. He is very clam and numb. Because facing the violence, he is also powerless. Mrs. Bell is one of the common people, she had no idea to the killings, which contrasts the unusual terrorist event. She thinks Andreessen is an excellent man, this good man but others killed which makes us think deeply about the society. The two professional killers, Max and Adams, even did not know the man’s appearance that they will kill, reflecting the darkness of society. The author details of their clothes such as appearance reflected their arrogance, numbness, cold.
The title of the story is The Killers, but Nick is the hero. He is good, pure, naive view the society. When he known Andreessen will be killed, he did not listen to the advice of Sam, to notice Andreessen. Facing the numbness, clam, helpless of Andreessen, the cold, violence, cruel of killers, the ruthless of Sam and George, his heart was shocked, he decided to leave here. When facing such scenes, anyone will be shocked, but this is life. We can only force us to get
used to it. But he did not realize that the town is a microcosm of America society. Such a walk it is no use.
Just 10,000 words, but shows such deep theme. As a famous American port Allen, think:” A set of objects, a situation, a chain of events which shall be the formula of that particular emotion, such as when the external facts, which must be terminate in sensory experience are given, the emotion is immediately evoked.”So Hemingway’s works are quite different in the global literature fields. His works can stimulate the readers’ reading interest. I like to read his book very much.。
