Love stories of hemingway

Hemingway projects a male dominated world in his fiction. His fiction is largely hero-oriented, and the protagonists conform to the aggressively male stereotype so dear to Hemingway. Nevertheless a considerable number of his stories deal with love while some others like The Short Happy Life of Francis Macember and Fathers and Sons, where love is not in the main focus, project Hemingway's concept of the love relationship between a man and woman. More than half of the fifty-odd stories Ernest Hemingway wrote dealt with love in one form or another; but not one of them depicted a satisfactory, lasting, mutually shared love between a man and woman. Love as a notion to Hemingway. The Hemingway protagonists are initially attracted by the very idea of being in love. A love relationship involves a certain amount of give and take, sacrifice and responsibility. He does not want the woman to demand anything from him, but expects her to be subservient, undemanding and to leave him free. But a proper love relationship is a two way affair. Thus when the relationship leads to attachment and obligations it arouses a conflict in the Hemingway protagonist and leads to the breakup or failure of the relationship.
