The story focuses on a conversation between an American and a young woman described as a "girl", in the Spanish station, waiting for the train to Madrid. The girl compares nearby hills with white elephants. The couple discusses the "operation" that a man wants the girl to do what the abortion implies.
The description of the Ebro valley in the first paragraph is often considered as having a deeper meaning: "It has long been recognized that the two sides of the Ebro Valley represent two lifestyles, one - infertility, the other is to participate in life in its full natural sense."
In the story, Hemingway makes "two links to the White of Hills and four on them, like on white elephants." The most common opinion about the meaning of this reference is associated with comparison of colors used throughout history. In a ratio with a drink "Absinthe", it is believed that there is a contrast of joy and sorrow between the black licorice of alcoholic beverage and the whiteness of the hills. This can also be opposed to a comparison between white hills and a dry brown countryside, which personify the same joy and grief. However, the true meaning of the name will not be fully known until the abortion theme will be disclosed between pairs, according to a man, this is "a terribly simple question not exactly the operation just let the air."
"The hills, similar to the White Elephants, first of all competes the female character:" So firmly sympathy in history is associated with a girl and its values, so her aversion to the idea of abortion and so critical history. On the mercenary reluctance of a man to take responsibility for the child. " A drink that a woman called "absinthe" is a drug that a man uses to influence the consciousness of a woman.
This is such a rather complicated sense of this work.
