| Sumari: | Ernest Hemingway mistrusted abstraction: he sought to put into words the experience of the senses without betraying its nonverbal essence. The representation of color is a crucial point in this aesthetic pursuit; but because language addresses the mind, not the senses, color is often used as a semiotic tool of significance in literary texts. In Hemingway’s fiction, however, color plays no semiotic part. Drawing its strength from an unusually strong demand on the reader’s imagination, the non-semiotic use of color is very potent as a verbal rendition of sensorial experience. |
