STYLISTIC DEVICES IN THE WORKS OF ERNEST HEMINGWAY

This article examines the stylistic devices used in the literary works of Ernest Hemingway, one of the most prominent writers of twentieth-century American literature. Hemingway’s prose is widely recognized for its clarity, simplicity, and powerful emotional impact. Despite the apparent simplicity of his language, his works contain a complex system of stylistic techniques that contribute to the depth and effectiveness of his narratives. The aim of this study is to analyze the major stylistic devices that characterize Hemingway’s writing style and to explain how these devices function within his literary works. The research focuses on several key stylistic features, including minimalism, symbolism, repetition, understatement, dialogue, and descriptive imagery. Special attention is given to the Iceberg Theory, which represents Hemingway’s unique narrative principle in which only a small part of the meaning is directly expressed while the deeper significance remains implicit. This theory plays an essential role in shaping the structure and emotional intensity of his stories
