Hemingway’s book, “The Sun Also Rises,” shows how the post World War I era got it’s name of The Lost Generation by following the lives of a World War I veteran, Jake Barnes, and his love interest, Brett Ashley with no direction in life after the war. As the story goes on Jake and Brett lose their humanity from their post war trauma ultimately separating them even though they still felt love for each other. This is a perfect example of the American Dream being unattainable because even love couldn’t turn around the lives of the lost generation. Jake and Brett ultimately end up being unsatisfied with their lives, personifying their generation as “lost”. With no way of achieving happiness and satisfaction, the American Dream is impossible to achieve. Hemingway proves the inevitability of achieving the American Dream in his literature, therefore refuting it as well.

In Hemingway’s book, A Farewell to Arms, Frederic Henry, the protagonist of the novel, leaves the destruction caused by the war behind, and many characters in the book disdain the deaths and violence war brings and question its supposed glory as well. The aftermath of the war was too brutal on all of its veterans, leaving them all drained morally and ethically, and leaving them with no desire to pursue the American Dream. Hemingway describes the wars as horrible yet inevitable. Because the wars are inevitable, so are its effects on society. Hemingway proves the American Dream is unattainable in his literature with themes of disillusionment and moral and ethical drainage.

Ernest Hemingway’s literature refutes the American Dream because the devastating stories he wrote with ultimately unhappy protagonists were parallel to his own life which tragically ended with suicide in 1961. Ernest Hemingway lived a crazy, extravagant, adventurous lifestyle with his early fame in fortune. Ernest Hemingway fell in love with bullfighting, and deep sea fishing as a young man. It is no coincidence that he wrote The Sun Also Rises about a Young bullfighter, and The Old Man and the Sea about a deep sea fisherman. In both stories, the protagonists ultimately don’t achieve the American Dream, just like him. Jake Barnes of The Sun Also Rises ultimately doesn’t end up with his love interest who was just within his grasp, and in The Old Man and the Sea, Santiago isn’t able to catch the marlin who he devoted his life towards catching. Ernest Hemingway’s life in parallel to this in the sense that he had all the fame and fortune in the world, but still could not find happiness, and achieve the American Dream, resulting in his suicide. Because the American Dream wasn’t achievable for Hemingway even with a wild luxurious life, Ernest Hemingway’s literature refutes the American Dream.
