It is regarded that some of Hemingway’s works are deeply related with sex problems. As the ideal, Catherine Barkley, Maria, and Renata stand out. The following are the negative types-Doctor’s Wife, George’s Wife, Brett Ashley, Helen, and Margot Macomber. There are several differences between the former and the latter. In the first place, the heroines of ideal type are docile, submissive, or sentimental to their men. The negative women, on the other hand, take the opposite attitude of the affirmative. Secondly, the ideal types such as Catherine or Renata wear their hair long. But the negative, for example, Brett Ashley, puts on a mannish felt cap and her hair style is brushed back like a boy’s. In short, the ideal woman cherishes a true womanhood, while the negative does not, it seems. (Jeonju University)
