Abstract

This essay focuses on the way as to how Ernest Hemingway’s novel The Garden of Eden understands the concept of gender. Namely, we are concerned with the representation of human character in Hemingway’s text, especially with how characters are constructed along lines of gender and sexual behavior. Hemingway’s interest in transgressive sexuality, with its emphasis on gender switching, indicates an edge towards his subversion of traditionally patriarchal ideas he is often taken to embody, while his embrace of border-line matters displays a specific dialogue with men’s and women’s multifold representations.
