Abstract

Hemingway is one of the most famous American writers in the twentieth Century, and as everyone knows, the code hero in his works is familiar to many people. Because he often uses fishing, hunting, boxing and bull fighting as the theme of his story, he is regarded as a male chauvinism without female consciousness. However, after a careful reading for Hemingway's works, we can see that Hemingway has created many female characteristics. Based on the author's learning and practical experience, this paper put forward three typical female consciousness in Hemingway's literary works, namely: traditional female, new female and tragic female. The female characters in Hemingway's novels have complex personality characteristics, and the women often have the fate of tragedy, which reveals Hemingway's pessimistic female consciousness.
