Two Types of Heroes

Hemingway Hero - The ‘Tyro’

Young, Inexperienced, Lost

and Bewildered

Hemingway Himself

Code Hero – ‘Tutor’

Older Man who has Realized

the Potentialities of Life and

Known the Field of his

Operation

Not Hemingway Himself

He has become what he

HAD TO become.

Represents a Code – Attain

– Live Properly

Offers/Exemplifies – Certain

Principles –

Honour, Courage, Endurance

Shows – ‘Grace under Pressure’

Distinguishes himself - people - who follow random impulses

let down their hair,

generally messy, perhaps cowardly

and without inviolable rules for how to live holding tight.
