Year: 2012
Abstract
Based on Ernest Hemingway‟s theory “the tip of the icebergâ€, where not everything has to be said by the author, the following paper takes the most relevant symbolic elements in “The Snows of Kilimanjaro†to be analyzed from the perspective of certain African myths, Carl Gustav Jung‟s concepts of “ the shadow†and Sigmund Freud‟s theory of dreams and his conception of frustrating experiences to interpret the story and to find the role and the real meaning of the hyena, the snows and the Kilimanjaro itself, the leopard and the main character‟s hallucinations.
