"Hills Like White Elephants" exemplifies Hemingway's iceberg technique in the following manner:
The iceberg technique consists in omitting (hiding) details of the story, just like the largest part of an iceberg is hidden under the water.
In "Hill Like White Elephants," Hemingway omits several details in the characters' dialogues. Readers must guess the meaning and implications of what they are saying.
- "Hills Like White Elephants" is a short story by Ernest Hemingway. It consists mainly of dialogues between a couple.
- Important details are left out of the dialogue. We have to guess what the man and the woman are talking about.
- We can assume, from what they are saying, that the woman is pregnant and the man wants her to get an abortion.
- He does not want their life to change. He tries to convince her that it is a simple procedure, and that it will better for everyone.
- The technique used in their dialogue is known as Hemingway's iceberg technique.
- The author believed a story had more impact if details were hidden.
- In this case, what initially seems to be a casual conversation between a couple (the tip of the iceberg) turns out to be a deep, tense conversation about abortion (the whole iceberg).
