Ernest Hemingway’s Female Images and For Whom the Bell Tolls Abstract: Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) is one of the most famous writers of the twentieth-century. Hemingway not only forged a startling original literary style, he also created “the Hemingway hero.” Through reading the woman image in For Whom the Bell Tolls, the author of this thesis aims to point out that Hemingway is not a misogynist, nor a male chauvinist, but a supporter of harmonious co-existence between male and female. Chapter one of this thesis discusses the characteristics and background of the traditional woman image and Hemingway’s woman image, and also the critic comments about his woman image. Chapter two analyzes the characteristics of the two women images in For Whom the Bell Tolls, the ideal woman Maria and the mannish woman Pilar. Chapter three discusses the factors for Hemingway’s shaping of woman image from three aspects: the background of that time, family upbringing and influence of women. To sum up, as a great writer, Hemingway owns strong sense of masculinity, but he is not short of concern of women. The women images in his works show the real characteristics of that society. Key words: Hemingway; For Whom the Bell Tolls; woman image 摘 要；海明威被誉为二十世纪最伟大的作家之一。他不仅开创了典型的海明威式的文风，也创造了海明威式的英雄。 本文的主旨是通过仔细研读海明威的小说《丧钟为谁而鸣》，分析原作品中的女性形象，从而发掘海明威始终不渝的追求男性与女性的和谐共处的主题。本文第一章讲述传统的女性形象和海明威笔下女性形象的特征和形成的历史背景，以及文学评论对于海明威笔下女性形象的一些误读。第二章主要分析《丧钟为谁而鸣》里的两位女主人公的形象：理想女性玛丽亚和男人似的女人比拉尔，从而展示海明威笔下的女性形象。第三章则从海明威当时所处的社会环境、家庭成长以及他所受的女性影响讲述他塑造典型女性形象的原因。 海明威作为一名伟大的作家，他不仅有强烈的男性主体意识，而且也不缺少女性意识，他作品中的女性形象真实地反映了当时社会女性的特征与面貌。 关键词：海明威；《丧钟为谁而鸣》；女性形象 Introduction Ernest Hemingway is a giant of modern literature.
