Ernest Hemmingway is well known for writing simple stories with many relevant complex themes and hidden metaphors throughout. Ernest Hemmingway's "Hills Like White Elephants" is a prime example of this flavor he's so well known for. In this story he displays an argument with a couple trying not to reveal what it's about while giving subtle hints to it and metaphors in the back ground of the story. The woman in the couple eventually has to make an alluded to choice over the argument's topic and that is what most find interesting about this short very scenario concentric story.
I personally find it funny when something big like an event or new path in life can shine some light on what actually matters or what is the actual foundation of a relationship. I think the woman in this relationship agrees and finds it sad, she seems strong in the way that she now realizes she doesn't actually need the man she's with. Although I think the woman will leave him, I have alot of trouble understanding their feelings and intent. The two characters are almost bleak in tone but it seems like the man is trying to appear passive to the issue while passing shame and pushing his real desire toward the woman. Overall I do think they will part ways and she will raise the child and find a man who will love her for all she is and not try to passively control her while drinking low quality beer.
