Individual’s Plight in Crisis: Notion of Winner Take Nothing and Other Stories

Author(s)	POOJA
Country	India
Abstract	In Winner Take Nothing Hemingway deals with his notion of man. In these stories it is the individual who has to face the trials alone, that is, he has to rely completely on himself, and this “incurable reliance on the individual” as Leo Gurko observes, “makes Hemingway the great contemporary inheritor of the romantic tradition”.The First World War, in fact, brought in its wake widespread feeling of insecurity and collapse of values. It is recognized as a period of unparalleled spiritual desolation and a decay of civilization as a whole. It was a period of intense soul-searching amongst the writers and artists, dismayed by a world which has lost its sense of purpose. The aftermath of war resulted in widespread sense of insecurity and chaos and man found himself rootless everywhere looking with dismay at the wholesale disintegration of all the values he had hitherto cherished and valued.
Keywords	Contemporary, Soul-Searching, Psychological.
