WWI Effects and The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway

The After Effects of the War in The Sun Also Rises <Tab/>Ernest Hemmingway was an intellectual writer who used characters, setting, and action in the novel, The Sun Also Rises, to convey many themes. He is also known to be a writer about the World War I time period. Thus, World War I has affected each of the characters in the novel in one-way or another. The war serves to …

…get away from [himself] by moving from one place to another," but that is exactly how he is living. Neither character is willing to face their true selves so they just continue through the blind motions of life. They never confront the deep problem of the effect of the war on their lives. Everything just seemed to have happened in their lives and now they are forced to cope with it or drink it down.
