Esthetic Beauty and The Sun Also Rises

Esthetic Beauty and The Sun Also Rises

• The providence of esthetics is the true and the
  beautiful.
• Aristotle from the Poetics

Esthetic Beauty and The Sun Also Rises

• Hemingway strove for the discipline of double
  perception. Two layers of meaning the simple
  surface over the complexities of the world. He
  tells a story of tragedy, but the context is
  resilience.
• The earth abideth even in the face of tragedy.
  Life moves on. Humanity is resilient.

Esthetic Beauty and The Sun Also Rises

• Hemingway wrote slowly and revised carefully,
  cutting, editing, substituting, experimenting
  with syntax, to see what a sentence could most
  economically carry throwing out what could be
  spared (Baker 72).

Esthetic Beauty and The Sun Also Rises

• Three common fallacies against truth
• Pathetic
• Apathetic
• Kinetographic

Esthetic Beauty and The Sun Also Rises

• Pathetic
• An overuse or excess of emotion (Baker 59).
• cruel, and crawling foam
• Creating a silly, false emotional effect.

Esthetic Beauty and The Sun Also Rises

• Apathetic
• Reason so tight that emotion is squeezed out
  entirely.
• Blank explanation too much telling and not
  enough showing, or letting the reader get to
  truth through the effect.

Esthetic Beauty and The Sun Also Rises

• Aristotles mean
• A balance between extremes. Pathetic and
  Apathetic are both extremes and if you find it in
  your writing you must revise.

Esthetic Beauty and The Sun Also Rises

• Kinetographic
• Mere reporting. The fallacy that the best art
  comes from a recording of all observed action.
  The facts are distorted by looking to avoid
  distortion by including everything.

• Hemingway
• Wrote the first draft of TSAR in 48 sessions. He
  let the manuscript rest while he skiied in the
  Voralberg in Schruns, Austria. He began to
  revise on his trip. The novel took nine months
  from start to finish. Hallmarks of TSAR real
  people under a microscope. Not a report of a
  disintegration, or a chronicle.
• The lost generation is not really that lost.
