At the heart of “Hills Like White Elephants” is Hemingway’s examination of the man and girl’s deeply flawed relationship, a relationship that champions “freedom” at the cost of honesty, respect, and commitment. In this sense, the man and girl represent stereotypes of male and female roles: the male as active and the female as passive. In this gender framework, the man makes the decisions and the female complies. However, as the story illustrates, such a power dynamic is fundamentally flawed and destructive. The man is domineering in all his interactions, andthough he pays lip service to wanting to make the girl happy, his decisions are ultimately guided by his own desires. He wants the girl to seekan abortion in order to maintain the freedom he enjoys, but he wants it to be her decision. For the man,it is not enough for her to do what he wants, but she must also want what he wants. The man seeks to control both the girl’s actions and intentions as though she were a child, a deeply unhealthy and damaging pattern of behavior.
At first the girl is resistant to the man’s emotional manipulation. She attempts to paint a picture of the future life she and the man could have together if they were to have a child. The man, though, is unwilling even to entertain these notions, and yet he phrases his refusal in the manipulative language of love, claiming that “I don’t want anybody but you.” Eventually the girl acquiesces to the man’s overbearing insistence, surrendering her personal freedom to his wishes. At the story’s conclusion, when he asks her if she feels better, the girl’s stiff reply reveals her true feelings: “I feel fine. There’s nothing wrong with me. I feel fine.” This final act of concealment and self-suppression suggests that this relationship, so representative of the traditional dynamic between men and women at the time,will remain stalled in its present unhealthy stateuntil it likely falls apart completely.

Explanation and Analysis:
In this statement, the girl is describing the landscape around the train station bar where she and her boyfriend are drinking. The landscape is described as hot, barren, and dry, and from the girl's observation that the hills "look like white elephants" comes the title to the piece. This is an important observation because it means so much more than it appears to. As the story continues, we learn that the girl is pregnant and the man is pressuring her to have an abortion. The girl's declaration that the hills look like white elephants, then, is her coded acknowledgement that Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt.

Explanation and Analysis:
Until this moment, it is at least plausible that the couple is literally talking about white elephants. However, the man's extreme reply to the girl's assertion that he wouldn't have seen a white elephant reveals that their conversation is actually about something much deeper. The man's comment gets at the politics between the two of them--the man seems to feel burdened, annoyed, or even impinged upon by the girl's assertion about him. It seems that he feels that her desires or the way she sees the world limits him in some way and that he is more than what she Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non.

Explanation and Analysis:
Throughout the story the two main characters bicker relentlessly--everything seems to be a source of conflict, no matter how small. The fact that they seem to have lost the ability to find joy in one another or foster mutual compassion shows the deep fault lines in their relationship, and makes it clear that it's disingenuous when the girl says, "I was having a fine time." It is disingenuous, too, when the girl says, "You started it" and "I was trying." In this exchange, the words that these characters speak seem to have very little relationship to their literal meaning (all Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non.

Explanation and Analysis:
In this statement, the girl expresses a major dissatisfaction with their relationship and with their life. While the man seems to enjoy their life of traveling and drinking, the girl seems to want something more—perhaps to start a family and have the stability of a home. Obviously, though, because of the splintered communication between the two of them, she can only allude to this disconnect. This statement, however, is a marked departure from their previous chattering and bickering, in that it comes closest to expressing a concrete problem and the corresponding desire that this problem implies.

Explanation and Analysis:
When the man says this, the girl has just made a small overture towards him by reversing her earlier claim that the hills look like white elephants, which symbolically indicated her willingness to bury the topic of the abortion in favor of having a more cordial time. However, the man sees an opening for manipulation in the girl's sudden kindness. This is the first time in the story in which the man uses the girl's pet name, Jig, and he seems to do it to offer her a glimpse of the tenderness and love he has been withholding.

Explanation and Analysis:
Here, the man is continuing to use the girl's pet name to manipulate her into feeling like he will love her more if she has the abortion. He is also, in this statement, continuing to use language to try to paper over the reality of the situation they are facing. Before, he told the girl that the operation wasn't "really an operation at all," and now he's saying it's "not anything" and it's "just to let the air in." These words are obviously literally untrue, but his rhetoric is meant to manipulate the girl into believing that the abortion is Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non.

Explanation and Analysis:
It is at this moment that the reader realizes that the girl has been silent not entirely out of anger, but also because the man's manipulation of her is beginning to work. He has promised her several improbable things, and now, by asking what they will do afterwards, she shows that she is seriously considering the abortion as a result. His manipulation continues as he tells her an obvious untruth, that the pregnancy is the only thing wrong with their relationship. This is a clear instance in which the the girl's and the man's conceptions of happiness are at odds. Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt. Ad dolor at.

Explanation and Analysis:
Until now readers could not be entirely sure of the tone of the conversation that the man and the girl are having--we're not sure to what extent the girl is actually buying his manipulation. In her statement that she has known lots of people who had abortions and "afterward they were all so happy," though, we realize that the girl's statements have a twinge of sarcasm; she is still resisting, after all. This is another instance of the complexity of language in the story--we've seen it working as a code, as a smokescreen, and now saying one thing and meaning Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt. Ad dolor at. Quia aperiam eligendi. Ut veniam voluptatem. Aperiam consequuntur mollitia. Provident expedita delectus. Occaecati ea suscipit. Optio ut iste.

Explanation and Analysis:
After the girl's sarcastic reply, the man knows he needs to change tactics. Since presenting the abortion as the choice that would make the girl happiest is not giving him the result he wants, he moves on to disingenuously defending his good intentions by saying that "I wouldn't have you do it if you didn't want to." Hemingway subtly modulates the tone of the dialogue here. While before the man was using the girl's pet name and describing how good things could be, his voice now seems a little more flippant and frustrated. The disingenuousness of his statement is confirmed Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt. Ad dolor at. Quia aperiam eligendi. Ut veniam voluptatem.

Explanation and Analysis:
Now it seems clear that the girl is leaning towards agreeing to terminate her pregnancy, but it certainly doesn't seem like a choice that she has freely made. Instead of choosing abortion because she is genuinely convinced by the man's appeals, she uses the abortion as a bargaining chip, essentially making him promise that he'll love her and that they will communicate better and have a nicer relationship if she does what he wants. This question of hers is particularly significant because it implies that their elliptical and evasive conversational style is also something that she wants to address in Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt. Ad dolor at. Quia aperiam eligendi. Ut veniam voluptatem. Aperiam consequuntur mollitia. Provident expedita delectus.

Explanation and Analysis:
A major theme in this story is the ways in which our words become estranged from their meanings in tense situations, and this is a perfect example. The girl, who is by now irrevocably entangled in the man's web of manipulation, seems to feel that she has few options left for resistance. Her disingenuous avowal that "I don't care about me" is framed as a selfless offer to follow the man's wishes, but is actually meant as an appeal to him to recognize his own selfishness. By seemingly embracing his consuming power, she is attempting to passive-aggressively critique it, hoping Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt.

Explanation and Analysis:
Like her statement that the hills look like white elephants, this is the girl's attempt to make a coded appeal to the reality she envisions. Just before saying this she looks out on the landscape that had been formerly described as barren and suddenly she sees grain and trees. The hills are fertile to her, while to the man they were dusty and empty, which symbolizes their conflicted views of their situation. By this point in the story the girl has been manipulated thoroughly, and it seemed that her ability to resist the man was limited to small disruptions of Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt. Ad dolor at. Quia aperiam eligendi. Ut veniam voluptatem. Aperiam consequuntur mollitia. Provident expedita delectus. Occaecati ea suscipit. Optio ut iste.

Explanation and Analysis:
As the conversation progresses, the girl's seeming optimism is tempered. The tone of their conversation makes it seem like she was only capable of making such a sweeping statement ("we could have everything") because she already felt that the possibility was closed. This also shows the conflicting realities of the man and the girl--while for her having everything would mean starting a family, for him having everything means returning to their life of superficial adventure. They appear here to be having the same conversation, but they are arguing about different things. This conversation is poignant, too, because it shows the Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut.

Explanation and Analysis:
While in the above quote it wasn't entirely clear that the man and the girl were having two different conversations, here it is obvious. The man is talking quite literally about their freedom to travel, which he values above all else, and the woman is talking about several things at once. On one level, she is talking about the baby, which she sees as already gone. On another level, she seems to be talking more abstractly about a togetherness or a sympathy between the two of them that seems to have been destroyed in the course of deciding to have Dolorem et quae.

Explanation and Analysis:
The light in this story has been described as beating and harsh--the characters go to the shade of the train station bar just to avoid it. But this avoidance, like their strange and elliptical conversation, represents their unwillingness to talk about the girl's pregnancy, the huge issue in their relationship. In this exchange, the girl has just been fairly honest (in a coded way) about wanting to keep the baby and about feeling that they can't "have everything" without it. In response, the man tells her to "come back into the shade," which represents his desire not to dwell in Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt.

Explanation and Analysis:
By this point the girl is exhausted by their coded bickering and the man's relentless manipulation. She's not able to get the upper hand through conversation, so, reaching the limit at which language can no longer productively address the problems in their relationship, she asks him to stop talking altogether. Significantly, before she requests silence, the man is beginning to launch into another line of reasoning for why she should have the abortion. He implies, with the phrase "you've got to realize," that the girl is not making an informed decision. He seems to be chalking her choice up to Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut.

Explanation and Analysis:
This is one of the most crass manipulations of all. Here the girl is clumsily trying to win the man over to her perspective on the abortion and their potential family, and the man reframes it in a way that preys on her hopes. Throughout the story, the love lost between them has been frequently alluded to, and it's clear that the woman wants kindness and love to return to their relationship very badly. While she believes their relationship would be better if they had the baby, he believes that it would improve by not having the baby and returning Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut.

Explanation and Analysis:
This is another situation where Hemingway builds tension through the ambiguity of not knowing exactly what the girl is thinking. The man clearly believes, when she asks him to do something for her, that he has gotten his way and that she is about to ask for something as a concession in return. Out of relief, he says he would do anything. However, the girl surprises us by pleading with him to stop talking, implying that she has still not been won over by his manipulation. The girl recognizes at this point that language is not her friend--any battle between Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt. Ad dolor at.

Explanation and Analysis:
This is a poignant moment, as the man glances at the luggage after recognizing that he has not yet persuaded the girl to see the abortion his way. The luggage, with all the labels from far-flung hotels, is symbolic both of the life of freedom and adventure that they've had so far, and of the burden (the "baggage") that the pregnancy has placed on their relationship and the limits that a baby (in his opinion) would place on their future. It's powerful that the same luggage can simultaneously symbolize opposite realities--this is emblematic of the impasse in their relationship, as Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut.

Throughout this story, the man and the girl drink copious amounts of alcohol as a means of escaping their reality. So much of this story is about finding ways to avoid confronting their difficult choice: their refusal to speak about it literally, their symbolic preference of the shade over the light, and their relentless drinking, for instance. This moment represents a whole new level of evasiveness, as the man stops at the bar to drink apart from the girl, even though he has a beer waiting at their table.
