Commentary on this work.

The Snow of Kilimanjaro is known as one of Hemingway's finest works in art, and the story of the story intersects and transforms each other through the two streams of consciousness in sleep and awake; "Death" is fully depicted, and the depiction of "death" is repeatedly symbolic. Hemingway's creative attitude was very serious, and he consistently revised his works repeatedly. He loved and was influenced by Mark Twain.

The style is delicate, fluent and bright, which is also the style of his language arts. However, most prominently reflecting his creative characteristics are the lonely inner monologues of most of the characters in his works, that is, long psychological descriptions, which in fact later developed a technique called "stream of consciousness". In an ideological sense, his characters are more or less pessimistic, reflecting the limitations of his worldview.

The Snow of Kilimanjaro is a novella by American writer Ernest Hemingway. The story mainly tells the story of a writer Harry who went hunting in Africa, and on the way, his car broke down, and he was punctured and scratched, and contracted bad disease. He and his lover were waiting for a plane to take him to the hospital**.

Written around "death" and "imminent death", but the underlying theme is Harry's journey back in time, from the past to the present. Harry loves the world. He has a lot of experiences.

His experiences with different women, as well as his own experiences in different professions, he wanted to write about but didn't have time to write about them. In the end, he failed to achieve the goal in his heart. Before he died, he was extremely remorseful.

At the end of the story, he dies in a dream: he flies on a plane to the top of Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa.

In terms of connotation, this is a work that discusses "death", showing the author's objective attitude towards death and the psychological process from fear to calm about death, so it also fully reflects the "demeanor under pressure" that Hemingway relied on to become famous. The whole ** is constructed by character dialogue, and the style is chaotic and filial piety is simple to the extreme.
