Concerning the mystery of his death, there are many different versions of the story. Yet, it is still unknown through thorough investigation and study. This paper initiates the death of Hemingway, and proceeds to make a deep analysis of the novella Death in the Afternoon, which guided by the interesting and dangerous bullfights to present his unique understanding of death. Hemingway’s explicit and vivid description of bullfights and a series of performance in the ring of bullfighters lead to a strong sense of infection, which is attractive and enchanted. Besides, his concise and succinct in conversation with the old lady represent the essence and the spirit of the bullfights. He points out in the book that “Bullfighting is the only art in which the artist is in danger of death”, and reveals that the spirit of bullfighting is bravery, fearlessness, and indifference to death. It is the hope of the author that the present study will finally develop our own understanding of death.
