Questions of life and death that puzzle mankind itself become the theme that people probe into naturally at the beginning. As one of the most popular American writer, Hemingway, demonstrates his special view on death through his works. His death theme has its own characteristics. One is a praise of initiative and struggle, another is a distain of passiveness. Hemingway’s attitude towards death has undergone changes, which can be detected from his works. At the very beginning, the leading characters have a strong frightened consciousness of death. They are helpless before death. Gradually, in his later works, though the heroes remain fear, they can overcome the fright and calmly face death. At last, they transcend death with their positive attitude and the “undefeated spirit”. The formation of his view of death has gone through a long time, and is constantly changed because of the writers sensitive consciousness as well as his own experience, especially the influence of World WarⅠ Through his novals, Hemingway illustrates his unique understanding of death, that is, death is not the end of life, but is a reverse confirmation of life. Hemingway advocates that people should face up to death, and fight against death with the spirit of a Code Hero.All these undoubtly have a positive influence on the people who survived the cruel war.
