Click here to see the Literary Analysis for ‘Hills Like White Elephants’
The hills across the valley of the Ebro were long and white. On this side there was no shade and
no trees and the station was between two lines of rails in the sun. Close against the side of the
[2]
station there was the warm shadow of the building and a curtain , made of strings of bamboo
beads, hung across the open door into the bar, to keep out flies. The American and the girl with
him sat at a table in the shade, outside the building. It was very hot and the express from
Barcelona would come in forty minutes. It stopped at this junction for two minutes and went to
Madrid.
‘What should we drink?’ the girl asked. She had taken off her hat and put it on the table.
The woman brought two glasses of beer and two felt pads. She put the felt pads and the beer
glass on the table and looked at the man and the girl. The girl was looking off at the line of hills.
[3]
They were white in the sun and the country was brown and dry.
‘I might have,’ the man said. ‘Just because you say I wouldn’t have doesn’t prove anything.’
The girl looked at the bead curtain. ‘They’ve painted something on it,’ she said. ‘What does it
say?’
The man called ‘Listen’ through the curtain. The woman came out from the bar.
‘With water?’
‘Do you want it with water?’
‘It tastes like liquorice,’ the girl said and put the glass down.
‘Yes,’ said the girl. ‘Everything tastes of liquorice. Especially all the things you’ve waited so long
for, like absinthe.’
‘You started it,’ the girl said. ‘I was being amused. I was having a fine time.’
‘All right. I was trying. I said the mountains looked like white elephants. Wasn’t that bright?’
‘I wanted to try this new drink. That’s all we do, isn’t it – look at things and try new drinks?’
‘I guess so.’
‘They’re lovely hills,’ she said. ‘They don’t really look like white elephants. I just meant the
colouring of their skin through the trees.’
‘All right.’
The warm wind blew the bead curtain against the table.
‘It’s really an awfully simple operation, Jig,’ the man said. ‘It’s not really an operation at all.’
The girl looked at the ground the table legs rested on.
‘I know you wouldn’t mind it, Jig. It’s really not anything. It’s just to let the air in.’
‘I’ll go with you and I’ll stay with you all the time. They just let the air in and then it’s all
perfectly natural.’
The girl looked at the bead curtain, put her hand out and took hold of two of the strings of beads.
‘I know we will. Yon don’t have to be afraid. I’ve known lots of people that have done it.’
‘So have I,’ said the girl. ‘And afterwards they were all so happy.’
‘Well,’ the man said, ‘if you don’t want to you don’t have to. I wouldn’t have you do it if you
didn’t want to. But I know it’s perfectly simple.’
‘I think it’s the best thing to do. But I don’t want you to do it if you don’t really want to.’
‘And if I do it you’ll be happy and things will be like they were and you’ll love me?’
‘I know. But if I do it, then it will be nice again if I say things are like white elephants, and you’ll
like it?’
‘I’ll love it. I love it now but I just can’t think about it. You know how I get when I worry.’
‘Oh, yes. But I don’t care about me. And I’ll do it and then everything will be fine.’
The girl stood up and walked to the end of the station. Across, on the other side, were fields of
grain and trees along the banks of the Ebro. Far away, beyond the river, were mountains. The
shadow of a cloud moved across the field of grain and she saw the river through the trees.
‘And we could have all this,’ she said. ‘And we could have everything and every day we make it
more impossible.’
‘No, we can’t.’
‘No, we can’t.’
‘It’s ours.’
‘No, it isn’t. And once they take it away, you never get it back.’
‘Come on back in the shade,’ he said. ‘You mustn’t feel that way.’
‘I don’t feel any way,’ the girl said. ‘I just know things.’
‘Nor that isn’t good for me,’ she said. ‘I know. Could we have another beer?’
They sat down at the table and the girl looked across at the hills on the dry side of the valley and
the man looked at her and at the table.
‘You’ve got to realize,’ he said, ‘ that I don’t want you to do it if you don’t want to. I’m perfectly
willing to go through with it if it means anything to you.’
‘Of course it does. But I don’t want anybody but you. I don’t want anyone else. And I know it’s
perfectly simple.’
‘It’s all right for you to say that, but I do know it.’
‘Would you please please please please please please please stop talking?’
He did not say anything but looked at the bags against the wall of the station. There were labels
on them from all the hotels where they had spent nights.
‘But I don’t want you to,’ he said, ‘I don’t care anything about it.’
The woman came out through the curtains with two glasses of beer and put them down on the
damp felt pads. ‘The train comes in five minutes,’ she said.
‘I’d better take the bags over to the other side of the station,’ the man said. She smiled at him.
‘All right. Then come back and we’ll finish the beer.’
He picked up the two heavy bags and carried them around the station to the other tracks. He
looked up the tracks but could not see the train. Coming back, he walked through the bar-room,
where people waiting for the train were drinking. He drank an Anis at the bar and looked at the
people. They were all waiting reasonably for the train. He went out through the bead curtain. She
was sitting at the table and smiled at him.
‘I feel fine,’ she said. ‘There’s nothing wrong with me. I feel fine.’

there is a line spken by the American man which changes the whole meaning of the story. My
students have been quite confused because of this error. Please make the correction.The line is
spoken by the man after Jill says: “I said we could have everithing.”
Then the American says: “We can have everything.”
‘And we could have all this,’ she said. ‘And we could have everything and every day we make it
more impossible.’
‘No, we can’t.’
‘No, we can’t.’
‘It’s ours.’
‘No, it isn’t. And once they take it away, you never get it back.’
‘Come on back in the shade,’ he said. ‘You mustn’t feel that way.’
Helped alot. thanks it helps once you think in a different way and take a step closer and really
get into the story and each little problem that comes into play. like at first the two tracks ment
nothing to me just some info that was un-needed but then i realized that it is two choices that
they dont’t know which way to go either to Barcelona or madrid, but the country names dont
matter its to keep the baby or get abortion.
once again,
Thanks!

I really like this story. The last line ‘I feel fine,’ she said. ‘There’s nothing wrong with me. I feel
fine.’ I think that this line could be taken in so many different directions that I do not think this
story really had resolution.
this story is really amazing. i feel her pain on a very deep level. it’s raw and true and just a little
bit scary. ernest hemmingway is amazing and this story is beautiful.
inspirational
or story rather
I really like how Hemingway incorporated dialogue into this short story. It allowed the reader to
gain insight on the personalities of the main characters.
And can someone please clarify what the operation the speakers in the stories were referring to?
My friends and I read this story but we couldn’t quite figure out what it was.
I read this story today in class. Honestly I didn’t much care for the story. I didn’t like how it
became very annoying because we don’t know what is being argued about between the
characters in the story. I understand that it adds a certain mysterious aspect to the story but I
still don’t like how we don’t really know what it’s about.
I also did not like how they continued to argue in the dialogue for so long back and fourth and
made no progress. I felt as though it was just a lot of repetition and kind of pointless.
The short story by Hemmingway is a brillint short story that is based on a typical subject of
human socity. The conflict between love and work and convincing other people to go with your
ideas.
I too read this story in class today and found it difficult to understand the content. I also would
have appreciated more information of the setting in which the story takes place. Despite all this i
still think Hemmingway is a great author and writer.
i find that the key characterization in the story is of the girl;it is that she is just that, a girl. He is
the alpha male man, pushing her to the operation and convincing her its not a big deal, he is the
Man, while she is nothing but a girl. She is the innocent, confused, impressionable child willing to
do everything for her companion.
I enjoyed reading this story by Hemingway. His unique choice of symbolism was very interesting
to observe. At first I didn’t quite understand what the characters were referring to, but after
rereading the text, I picked up some quotes that implied Jig was getting an abortion. For
example “It’s really an awfully simple operation, Jig. It’s not really an operation at all.”
Hemingway’s style of writing challenges the reader to really observe the text and look for hidden
clues as to what this story implies.
I read this short story a few days ago in class and didn’t really understand it. Today we went over
it in class and I thought it was brilliant. The way that Hemingway gives us the readers such little
information but so much can be derived from it is genius. I truly believe this has been one of the
greatest short stories i have ever read. Another thing i appreciated a lot was the symbolism used
by the author in order to give us information in a non direct way. The title for instance has great
symbolism as do the curtains mentioned in the story and the landscapes. Brilliant

I thought that this wasa great story. It was really opened ended as the two main characters sort
of danced around what they were exactly talking about. When i read it the first time i had no
idea what they was going on. But after rereading it a few times i nitced some of the symbolism
and started to pick up hints, such casual hints, such as the girl looking away when asked about
the operation, that Hemingway drops in the course of the story. Overall, I thought it was very
cleverly written and trukly is a great story.
This short story was unlike any other I have read before. I really liked how Hemingway gave us a
lot of information through symbolic meaning rather than just outright saying it. When the story
talks about the operation, you must look back into the story and figure out the clues, such as the
tension between the two and the wishful thinking about what could possibly be the future in
order to understand that she is having an abortion. Hemingway did not really tell the story.
Rather he let us figure it out for ourselves. What I really enjoyed about this story is how there is
no clear cut ending. The reader does not know what takes place in the end and it is open to
interpretation. This story was well written and had a unique style, one I have not seen before.
Great comments Hillel crew. I’m happy to see how many of you took this opportunity to voice
your opinions. Great points about symbolism and characterization. Food for thought: What can
we infer about Hemmingway from his treatment of the subject matter and characters in this
particular story? We’ll continue to explore this question…
These last few comments are fantastic observations – I do invite you to read through my own
literary analysis, which I have posted on this very website:
[1]
I really enjoyd reading this story but one thing I do not get is why she drinks while she is
pregnant!? I meen that is just so irresponsible, isn’t it?
i kept waiting to get kicked in the face with what the operation was had to read it a few times to
realize it was an aportion. to lene’s coments firt of all its pretty clear she is going to do whatever
her man wants so she mind as well drink, secound of all, the story takes place in the 20’s they
just dont have the facts we have the benifte of today.
i was struck early on by hemingways use of the line “The American and the with him” i
hemingway was known as a drunk abusive man with no respect for women right? evan though
he trys to make the chouse the s i dont belive it is
abortion?? if u say so well which critical analysis approach could best be used with this story?
this is my homework….
intimate language..
Well, he describes their luggage: “There were labels on them from all the hotels where they had
spent nights.” It sounds to me that they maybe are together traveling, exploring different places,
and then this happened, and the American really doesnt want to stop this lifestyle, he enjoys it.
With Jig being with child, he sees it as the end to his travels and explorations. So, to better
answer that, I don’t think that they went to Spain to have the abortion, but that they might have
found out on the way to one of their destinations, so they found a location to ‘get it taken care
of’ on route to where it is that they might be traveling/visiting. Also I’m not sure if anyone took
the time to look up what Jig means, I looked it up. There were a lot of definitions, but one that
caught my eye in relating to this story were an old fashioned slang used to describe a good time.
Could that be what the American thought Jig? It seems so.
There is a song called “Hills Like White Elephants” at the above website…

it was nice, b coz our sir was not giving us notes ..it helped me a lot..
I’ve read this story twice now, and the conversation can be taken a couple of different ways
beside abortion. At first glance I thought they were running away to elope and our girl Jig was
getting cold feet hence the drinking. Then I thought why would they be running away together in
the first place? That got my mind wandering was because she’s so much younger? Or not as
wealthy? Or maybe even not the right nationality? Abortion never really dawned on me until the
class discussion but after reading the story again I can see that being the case. Hemingway was
truly a very brillant writer.
The very first time i read the story, i didn’t get it.
the second, a few pieces started to fit together and make sense.
the third was the same.
now the fourth time, I finally understood everything, and the whole story was no longer a good
story, but a magnificient story.
i truly find this to be un my top ten favourite short stories
OMFG! STUPID STORY~! I would give this a 0 out of 10. I don get shit. Its so fucking stupid! Like

@danielle: Thank you for a mighty fine explanation of this short story. You brought a much more
detailed insight of the story that I could not picture. I was also curious about Jig, but only heard
of this story today and have a paper due tomorrow. Thank you for your assistance
It could be interpreted like abortion, but I saw it as if she couldn’t get pregnant at all, and that
she was going to get “help” for this in an awkward way. I don’t know. It can be interpreted in
many ways, and I love that. =)

[...] This writing exercise is based on the famous story Hills Like White Elephants, by Ernest
Hemingway. I remember being taught that story in college. My writing teacher compared the
story to an arctic glacier. You can only see the top portion of the glacier that is sticking out of the
water, but that’s usually only 20% of the glacier. The other 80% are under the surface, and the
storyteller’s job is to explicitly show the 20% percent, while inexplicitly referring to the other
80%. I recommend reading Memingway’s story before starting your own writing exercise. He did
[5]
a much better job than I ever could. [...]
this story is da bomb i wish that i was in it and that i was that lady.
This story is definitely all about the couple debating whether or not she should get an abortion. I
admit that on my first read I did read into the idea of them running away to elope, but halfway
through it became pretty apparent to me what was really going on. EH is a master of course. For
those of you who haven’t read “The Sun Also Rises” novel read that immediately!
Incidentally, Hemingway uses a cool literary device in this story. It’s very common in literature
that water is a symbol for life. So consider the part of the story that reads: Across, on the other
side, were fields of grain and trees along the banks of the Ebro. Far away, beyond the river, were
mountains. The shadow of a cloud moved across the field of grain and she saw the river through
the trees.
What this means is that they are talking about an abortion. But when they look at the river, it is
fertile with grains and trees along the river; life is bursting there. Essentially, when she looks at
the river, she is considering the pro-life, no abortion option
I’m pretty sure those of you that don’t have the brains to come up with your own interpretation
of the story really should stick to the comic books, because you sincerely are ridiculously
ignorant. Just drop out of school because obviously it’s not helping any and you probably annoy
the people around you that actually have a brain. The point of the story is that you can pretty
much relate it to anything, and everyone will see it differently because they have been through
different things and lived through different experiences.
Wow Tiana, why don’t you tell us what you really think!
Thanks for posting this! It’s really hard to find any Hemingway in e-format. Cool little story. I
just wish I could get through The Old Man and the Sea as quickly as this.
this story doesn’t have a resolution because its left open for your own personal perception. Its
intended to make you think what you would do in that situation if you were Jig.
Took me time to read all the comments, but I really enjoyed the article. It proved to be Very
useful to me and I am sure to all the commenter here! It’s always nice when you can not only be
informed, but also entertained! I’m sure you had fun writing this article.
Every time like to read you. I found so many interesting stuff in your blog especially its
discussion. keep up the good work.
Very interesting story, I love how conversation alone helped develop the characters rather than
just single short descriptions of them.
I had an open writing assignment, I chose to add onto the story creating a different ending. Here
is what I did..
Maybe I misunderstood or am taking this too far, but saying, “On this side there was no shade…”
and then having them sit “at a table in the shade”, sounds like a lot of shade for a place that
doesn’t have shade. “Come on back in the shade,’ he said. ‘You mustn’t feel that way.”

James that was the dumbest ending ever. First of all, if she’s pregnant why would she drink a
beer or any alcoholic drink rather!? And secondly, throughout the whole story they are distant
and different people. Why the hell would they look at clouds and laugh together. I agree, don’t
quit your day job lol.
Elortondo, whats the matter little boy? Don’t know how to curse in English?
Greg you’re the most ignorant person on this website. You don’t have anything intelligent to say
so you harrass others. Pathetic!
A lot of people seem to have a lot of ideas on why she was drinking. back when this was written
less was know about the effects of alcohol on an unborn child. back then women would often
drink beer to keep the child smaller during the pregnancy and keep their figure.

To abcdefghijkl,
Glad you like Hemingway. Some years ago I arranged to meet a friend of mine who knew him in
Africa and Spain at the hotel Metropol, Valencia. But my friend said that it was not possible as he
and Hemingway had both been thrown out because they were squirting the clients (including the
mayor at that time) with water pistols full of gin. All this is in my book. chris wright
No way!! he wouldn’t have done such a thing, seriously i cannot believe that!
One of the best stories ever written, sure it takes a while before it really sinks in but when you
get it, it really moves you.
Cheers!
I totally agree to sister “ABCDEFGHIJ” coz even i was in class when the teacher explained!!
Just a question. How is everyone so sure that this story is about abortion? Technically speaking if
she was so worried about keeping the baby, would it make sense for her to be drinking? I’m just
curious to why people think this is the case, because I don’t see abortion being part of the story.
