Hemingway's Hero:
Modeled closely upon the author himself.
An outdoorsman with sensitivity to the chaotic world and its pain.
Wishes for greater bravery but does the best under stress.
Two types of hero:
Those living with cynical disregard due to World War I's impact.
The "code hero" characterized by honor, courage, and endurance.
The "code hero" lives correctly, facing the chaos and pain of the world with dignity.
Faces daily challenges with courage.
Despite eventual loss, the hero's value is measured by their facing of death.
