Thanks for this. I have to read it as summer work for my honors English class, but can never focus on reading without hearing it. Thank you so much. You saved my grade.
A contemporary reader with Hemingway would be sure that the woman killed her husband on purpose. However, reading it in 2020, is not so clear that the woman is a cold-blooded murderer. The narrator never explained what happened, but the hunter. Is our decision whether we trust in his judgement or not. And we know he always thinks the worst of women like her.
I'm pretty sure that Hemingway meant it to be that she did it on purpose. But at the same time modern interpretations could have interpreted it differently. Did She mean to do it? Even if she did was she that good of a shot? And even if she was did she want to risk the societal scrutiny of manslaughter? I mean she married him and she married rich. She would have had nothing if he had left her and his wealth and fortune doesn't specify if they will automatically go to her, I'm pretty sure there's some law at some point detailing that if the killer stands to inherit their wealth then it shouldn't go to the murderer. So Why did she do it, if she did it on purpose then it stands to reason she's scared that he's going to stand up to her. If she didn't do it on purpose then it would be safe to assume that she would rather risk societal rejection than being married to someone that might flip the tables around and control her. Both of the alternatives proved that she is a much cold hearted person than Macomber will ever be internally. In a way, she was the hunter and he's the hunted. Which reflects the theme of the story in some way, being able to hunt big game is the mark of true "men", and she, despite being a women, has already achieved that status from beginning of the story to the very end.
Maddie, did you read it or listen to someone who possibly read it? I am truly sorry for your lack of intelligence. For your own sake shut, what we used to call, The FUCK UP.

My first time reading Hemingway. I’ve always heard everyone in American Lit rave about him. I’ll definitely be reading the rest of his stories.

Tragic
You need to work on pronouncing R. You say "vaywee" instead of "very" and "sahfawee" instead of safari.
Then read it yourself
Thanks
