The novel shapes the fighter beset, the dying writer, although he feargond the advent of goal, eventu everyy he expected to rise his own soul to lead by the nose-capped peak of Kilimanjaro, so as to materialize the detachment of spirit and surpass himself. The Snows of Kilimajaro contains powerful images of death. In fact, the opening paragraph of the novel tells the reader ab go forth a trunk of a leopard and Hemingways creates a trio of images that are showed throughout the novel snow God death. The novel deals with an extreme intent situation the experience close relates to death and the dying experience . Death is exsited no matter issue in the novel, it is showed in the main plot of the story and the parts describing the reminiscence of the heros life. Decay, destruction and deat h are the main themes of this short story.Hemingway described the hero Harry with flesh and blood, longing for having real life. Although he felt very(prenominal) helpless and angry for the fate and the death, he still remained clear-headed ment eachy in the dying point of the death, reflecting himself by the way of recalling the remorse, and regretting his mistake and wasted time. In order to show this theme, Hemingway used his unique technique of flow of consciousness, frequently musculus quadriceps femoris was used to describe Harrys memories in the novelIn the personation of describing the worldly concern that death is approachingthe recital of stream of consciousness successfully was inserted in the main variation of narration interposed, flashback, multi-perspective rendering method and symbolic, sketching out Harrys life experience, succeeding in describing the activities of Harrys mind, and depicting vividly the characters personalityII Embodiments of Stream of Cons ciousness in the Snows of Kilimanjaro Stream of consciousness is emerged on the nates of realism amongst the 1920s and 1930s, which breaking the traditional literary technique including character introduction, plot arrangement and comment on the psychological activities, piece directly representing awareness activities of the characters, subconscious process is its main feature in particular, image and inner attitude of the characters are regarded as manifesting form.Psychological landed estate is the center line when the hero faced the death approaching in the Snows of Kilimanjaro, radiating out the stream of consciousness is the experience of Harrys life and all the stories related to the death, the center line is regarded as the main line of the tout ensemble story vertically develops.Harrys death refracts Harrys life, personality and his attitude towards death. All these in a higher place are inserted some level of stream of consciousness in the form of narration interpos ed, flashback, multi-perspective rendering method and symbolic in the center line. Finally, all the consciousness were attributed to a kind of sense, which the sublimation of peoples spiritual realm and the rise of aircraft are integrated, the article mounts to climax , beyond the space-time and reshapes the realm of himself.Time and space crisscrossThe narration split into two time and spatial levels make it possible for Hemingway to incorporate wider experience. The first level is precisely defined in time and space, whereas the second level is not restricted in this respect. It is on the edge of a dream, so it belongs rather to that surreal world. The combination of twain gives strong sense of deep feeling and bitter experience of this unfounded world. Life is seen as a constant flow of conflicting activities, a mixture of phenomena flourishing and at the very(prenominal) time fading and payable to destruction.Hemingway breaks through the limits o f time and space in his pit hy style, almost absolutely revealing everything both Harrys light and imagination. During the course of the bounces between Harrys waking and imagination, the author does not simply describe Harrys vacant veritable -from world-weariness to indignation, but a sort of complicated minds, and meanwhile readers start oneself the course of Harrys constantly shifting thought-from simplicity to degradation, and then to be awake. finished the double clues of Harrys consciousness, both the back-and-forth-springing and the secret ones as the diagram above illustrates, the entire life of the protagonist comes to be presented step by step and progressively clear from Harrys recall and regret without chronological ordering. But with this unique date of the technique of the back-and-forth-springing structure, Harrys stream of consciousness occurs logically and soundly at the same as the events happen around him ,even those before.Reality and Fantasy Interlacingfacial expression through th e whole novel, all the creation of novel are effected with the aid of Harrys stream of consciousness and inner monologue except a few dialogues occurred on Harry and Helen in the awake time, and the limited panorama that Hemingway saw through the eye of hero, by the way of the mixture of realism and fantasy, so that readers can understand Harrys life and psychological state that he faced death threat and feelings of remorse. We can see the two unlike levels of stream of consciousness between reality and fantasy, which interweaves each other, sometimes from real life to fantasy, and sometimes from dreams to reality, as a result that the readers can straightly glance the inner world of characters to penetrate his feeling.In the activities of fantasy awareness, the novel shows the interwoven events of the past(a) that Harry wrote afterward he stayed at continental place, including his childhood, the cruelty of the First World War and his skiing, looking for stimulation in gamb ling, his infliction from anesthesia war the journey and settle in European after the post-war, devising money by writing, the personal feelings from increasingly deepening genial crisis and social contradictions, his love and dissolute life and loneliness. Under the control of waking awareness, he remembered his wasteful luxury, extravagant, and hedonistic decadent life filled with attend money and chasing women.He had destroyed his talent by not exploitation it, by betrayals of himself and what hebelieved in, by drinking so much that he blunted the edge of his perceptions, bylaziness, by sloth, and by snobbery, by superciliousness and by prejudice, by hook and by crook.The fear of death for Harry from disgust, hatred was gradually changed into understanding, calm and acceptance. After all, he still love life, he moved to Africa in order to start from scratch, but he contracted an incurable disease in the place, he was eager to find someone to save him from the death in the l ast time. At the moment, delusion stream of consciousness appeared, Harry saw that the aircraft droved by Compton to rescue him.He lay still and death was not there. It must have foregone around another street. It went in pairs, on bicycles, and moved absolutely taciturnly on the pavements.Because, just then, death had come and rested its head on the foot of the cot and he could smell its breath.Readers think that Harry was genuinely sitting in the aircraft and escaped the death situation, until finally readers know that death did come, and which is the feature of description from illusion to reality of Ernest Hemingway.The master of modern narrative art, Hemingway responses to Harrys the flow of stream of consciousness, so that the stream of consciousness and inner monologue are become into the most powerful tool to express the persuasion and activities of the characters. When the story reaches a climax and the energy of theme concentrates to the maximum, the two consciousnesses of reality and fantasy from Harry are integrated into one unit, spewing out the stream of consciousness in the last moment of struggling between the life and the death, which makes all the activities of sense are concentrated together, he dreamed that he flew to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro by plane, Harry understood that the place was his willing. In fact, which is the final climb of Harrys soul to the immortal realm of the spirit.Multiple points of gather inHemingway chooses the multi- points of view in the fluid present of novel, so that the hero can scan and look over from several angles and reflect on their past behaviour. The frequent alternation on the person is embodied in the text description. You and he are often alternated in the same sentence in the description, making the narrative points of view frequently change. An objective description is the consciousness range of readers, while the second-person narrative is associated with the character and the focus of atten tion from reader consciousness. In this way, describing characters inner activity as if Harry thinks aloud. Through the conversion of narrative point of view, the inner world of characters
