You grow up when you kill an animal, not when you fucking turn fucking 21. Wilson is sort of this harvest of Africa.

Simply anything. They are, he thought, the hardest in the world the hardest, the cruelest, the most offensive and the most attracti ve and their men generate softened or gone to pieces nervously as they have hardened. Or is it that they break up men they can handle? They cant know that much at the age they marry, he thought.He was grateful that he had gone through his education on American women before now because this was a very attractive one. Margaret Macomber (Margot) Francis married woman (not matrimonial out of love. Stays together because hes abundant and shes pretty (and witty and gaaaaaay) She is dishonest Controls Francis, has the fastness hand in the relationship, You shamt have to restrain long when you have an advantage. Is the prettiest woman (in Africa). The crusade she doesnt leave him at home in America is that there she isnt the prettiest one. She and Francis need distributively other, but through the story the relaxation shifts and it has consequences.The concise Happy smell history of Francis Macomber plot of land reading The Short & Happy Life of Francis Macomber, I focused on t he question, what do his life mulct and quick-witted. At low I took the interpretation of short and happy literally, translating too, living a short life (age) and happy meaning (wealth). After some thought though I pass that Hemingway meant something entirely different. Francis Macomber in the beginning of the short story is a coward causing his married woman to loath him, and even the staff to reckon and question his manhood. Finally Francis overcomes his cowardly expression and finally lives. You know I dont cogitate Id ever be afraid of anything againSomething happened in me after we first saw the buff and started after him. Like a dam bursting. It was pure excitement. It is at this trice that I think Francis begins to live life, sequence simultaneously become happy as he has just overcome his cowardliness. Moments later(prenominal) his wife ( strokingly? ) shoots him Whether or not it was an accident is up for discussion, but that is what I think Hemingway meant whe n he titled his short story, The Short & Happy Life of Francis Macomber. Now Did his wife kill him on purpose or was it actually an accident. This kind of confused me because I relish like I can argue both sides, however, I feel like the stronger argument is her intentionally sidesplitting her husband for the reasons below She could of intentionally make it because of her attitude and actions prior to killing him. send-off off she was giving him crap about being a coward, and on lift of that, I think she in any case slept with Wilson since hostile her husband he is not a coward. This was never actually stated but thats how I inferred it.Also, moments before the gunshot, Macomber at one point looks keister at her and hustles, she, with the rifle besides her does not wave back. Even though love is a missing component in their relationship, she would of waved back if she was feeling in control of the seat but now that Macomber is fearless he has control. I think she feels bit ter and inevitably to retaliate because of this, thus why she pulls the part and accidently shoots him. Wilson in the end also says, He would of left you too, so maybe she also did it, because she, like Wilson also knew that.
