This style is his famous “Iceberg Principle” that emphasizes simplicity and economy of expression.(3) Almost all his stories deal with the theme of courage in the face of tragedy. They reveal man’s impotence and despairing courage to assert himself against overwhelming odds. These heroes are called “The Hemingway Code Hero”.
