When I was in labour, there was another woman in the next delivery room, who was in labor for more than 24 hours, I couldn’t stand the noise, her screams. Of course that was early in stage when I still had time to be bothered by surroundings. As time goes on, nothing matters anymore, you just have to do what you have to do when giving birth. In my country many still choose natural labor and that makes a lot of difference in how one looks at it. Two days in labor, I cannot imagine how horrible that can be. I felt really like the ‘father’ just couldn’t take it anymore, listening to her wife scream in pain for that long, he might have felt guilty for impregnating the woman. The scene reminded me of A Farewell to Arms when Catherine dies. Life is so close to death, happiness is so close to tragedy. Such a powerful story telling. Just my thoughts, since I just read the story. Thank you for the video!
Thanks for the perspective. It's important to keep the story anchored in its context. So much attention in the story is focused on the male participants, who are all really just sideline figures to the main event. Wrestling that spotlight back onto the visceral ordeal of the woman adds immeasurably to the dramatic tension and layers of significance.
Thanks for the support. No "The Killers" yet, but I'll think about it. For now it's just: ruclips.net/video/7CSesVdmELY/видео.html ruclips.net/video/9HumDKdgYYc/видео.html ruclips.net/video/AoqpKa8Zj5U/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/pxy_B384SYU/видео.html
I have always believed that Hemmingway was just writing about his personal life experiences with some embellishment to sell the story to a publisher. LOL, end of story. Just my opinion.
The parallels between Hemingway's life and work are pretty obvious, but drawing them out only teaches you about his life. It was a pretty wild life so that's interesting on it's own. What's more interesting, however, is what his work can mean for all of us. The details he uses in telling the story may or may not have happened, but their arrangement creates the experience of art that stirs our reaction to it. That's where the real action is. By contrast, the events of his life are trivial.

The Hemingway-esque response would be to nod curtly and leave the rest unspoken, so I'll have to do that.
