5 Archetypes in the novel

The most apparent and reoccuring archetypes in the novel were:

• The middle class workers:"They thought we were snappers, all right,"the man said. It certainly shows you the power of the Catholic Chrich. It's a pity you boys ain't Catholics. You could get a meal, then, all right,"(Heminway 93). This quote depicts the average working man by there use of colloquialism with the words "snapper", "ain't", and the phrase"you could get a meal". Hemingway subtly describes the two men conversing in this passage as the middle class by how he makes them talk. Throughout the book, Hemingway uses this same stradegy to classify other characters into the social hierchy as well.
• The typical upper class/aristocrats: "What was it? About your going to England?" "Yes, about me going to England. Oh Jake! I forgot to tell you. I'm going to England!""Isn't that fine!""Yes, that's the way it's done in the very best families,"(Hemingway 55).

"You were only going to give me a hundred pounds,weren't you, Robert? But I made him give me two hundred. He's really very generous,"(Hemingway 55,56). In these quotes from the novel, Hemingway portrays the typical wealthy, upper class of society individuals. The obsession with money and the proud and flamboyant attitudes are all archetypes we associate with the wealthy. Hemingway plays off this archetype very well in his novel.

• Immigrants:"He hasn't got any passport..."""What will he do?" I asked. The guard spat in the dust. "Oh, he'll just wade across the stream.""Do you have much smuggling?""oh,"he said,"they go through,"(Hemingway 98). Hemingway in the novel describes quite a few of his characters as being prejudice. An example of one prejudice in the novel is the "issue" with immigrants entering Spain. He portrays the guard in this passage to be unsympathetic and not concerned with the issue or the lives of these people. With the tone of the passage and the attitude the guard exerts the reader can easily pick up on the archetype of the "invader" or immigrants.
• Classical tourist:"Robert Cohn tried to say he did not want any of the second meat course, but we would not interpret for him, and so the waitress brought him something else as a replacement, a plate of cold meats, I think,"(Hemingway 100). In this passage, Hemingway deomonstrates the classical experience most foreigners experience in a new culture. He portrays the archetype of a tourists by having Robert not clearly and efficiently communicate with the waitress; as a result, he gets something totaly bizare and not anything close to what he wanted.
• A faithful individual:"I knelt and started to pray and prayed for everybody I thought of.." "Then i prayed for myself again, and while I was praying for myself I found I was getting sleepy, so I prayed that the bull-fights would be good.." "i thought i would like to have some money, so I prayed that I would make alot of money,"(Hemingway 102,103).I think in this passage, Hemingway goes over the top with describing an individual with faith. However, Hemingway is effective when describing the archetype of a faithful individual by having them frequently pray.
