The Sun Also Rises is written by Hemingway. it is one of Hemingway’ earliest novels. Ernest Miller Hemingway was an American novelist, short-story writer, and journalist. Nicknamed "Papa", he was part of the 1920s expatriate community in Paris known as "the Lost Generation", as described in his memoir A Moveable Feast. He led a turbulent social life, was married four times, and allegedly had various romantic relationships during his lifetime.[citation needed] For a serious writer, he achieved a rare cult-like popularity during his lifetime. Hemingway received the Pulitzer Prize in 1953 for The Old Man and the Sea. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. During his later life, Hemingway suffered from increasing physical and mental problems. In July 1961, he committed suicide by shooting himself.The novel has heavy undercurrents of suppressed emotions and buried values. Its weary and aimless expatriates serve as metaphors for society's lost optimism and innocence after the war..

Brett tries to break free of patriarchal control, she often vacillates between extremes of self-abnegation and self-indulgence,and her relationships with her two former husbands as well as with ambivalence, anxiety, and frequently alienation. Although Brett has the distinction of having married into the British aristocracy, her protected social status has proved to be inversely proportional to her personal satisfaction. As she bitterly observes, “I had such a hell of a happy life with the British aristocracy” as she tries to find her way between the Scylla of social constraint and the Charybdis of chaotic freedom, her search for a new direction is not validated by the social world in which she lives. In spite of Hemingway’s sympathetic treatment of Brett, much critical reaction has mirrored traditional values: Allen Tate calls her “hard-boiled”, Theodore Bardake sees her as a “woman devoid of womanhood”, Jackson Benson says that she is “a female who never becomes a woman”, Edmund Wilson describes her as “an exclusively destructive force”, and John Aldridge declares that Brett is a “compulsive bitch” in a somewhat more generous interpretation ,Roger Wylder sees her as a Janus-like character.

Brett’s loose, disordered relationships reflect the shattered unity and contradictions of the modern world. On the one hand, she is insouciant, careless-,a femme fatale-a woman dangerous to men, on the other, she reflexively lapses into role1
