Hemingway is a famous ~~riter of the 20th century. He forms his own unique writing contents and principles gradually , and his creation of typical characters is even more excellent. æ·old-hero?is fitting example of success .Not only do they the æ·old-hero攃haracters,such as fearless ,spirit matchless unflinching will , courage of life tends to be alive for sake of death and so on , but also have solitude , perplexity which mainly exprssed in his works of early stage . Both of them embody the abundant and unique personality fascination . I will present this thesis to pay close attention to the cold-hero抯 perplexity,solitude and their attitude to death, analyzing the figure抯 personality fascination to and realize the philosophis and aesthetic connotations expressed from them. The Sun Also Rise is the first novel of Hemingway ,~vhich records the everyday activities of a grounp of men who have no life goals and have nothing to do. This work is a representive of æ•he lost generation? and it抯 fuii of perplexed feeling. His writing focus on æ·old-hero?of later stage. At that time , perplexity is no longer the focused paied attention of the work, but without exception, the protagonists are still at a loss more or less. The first section of this dissertation trise to look for the perplexed mood in the Hemingway抯 major works,espcially on the æ·old-hero?

We can find the ralationship and -4.- development of Hemingway抯 works from it. Beginning with perplexity, Hemingway steps on a new journey of discovering the meaning of life. The 20th century is dogged by bad luck frequently, at the same time science and retionality develop quickly. All of these lead to the collapse of religion and the solitary of whole generation .The second section of this thesis deals with the analysis of the unyielding man抯 solitary through both external world and the figures?inner life.

The trait of Hemingway抯 thoughts and character result in the doomed destiny of the figures he created. Hemingway, no matter as a æ·old-hero æŠr a writer, is solitude . However, he doesn抰 see it as a bad thing. For he always belives that ?The people who is solitude has the most powerful strength. æ™n one hand, solitary causes men?mental agony. On the other hand , whether or not they can endure , becomes an ordeal that the ?cold-hero æ¾ave to endure. Death is interrelated with human抯 ultimate destiny , and becomes a major theme for writers such as Hemingway. In the third section I will touch unpon the cold-hero抯 attitude to death. For a long time , death has been related to terror . But in Hemingway抯 purporting of death , it ,, ,, becomes æ³ stream of air , a couple of policemen æŠr æ³ bird?. Death is no longer terrible. Because of the tatal destiny of death, man抯 efforts come to be noting . For all the ?cold-heros ?, all exertion just for æ•ive for the sake of living ?for making their val...
