On The Theme Of Hemingway's Death And Creation Of Yukio Mishima Different

Mishima Yukio in the east and Hemingway in the west were two important writers in the 20th century's literary history. Both of them paid attention to the death theme, but there're great differences.The exploration of death of Hemingway can be divided into three stages. In the early time, he was curious and confused. The idea of initial was full of childlike innocence, in "The Indian Camp", the little boy thought that man "will never die". But the realistic cruelty destroyed his idealism, the innocent of death turned into the perplexed and confusion of death, such as "A Farewell to Arms" and "The Sun Also Rises". Medium, after the war and death, Hemingway found that escaping from death, blindly pursuing of nihility was meaningless. He began to accept death, and explore to be a freshman. In "The Snow of Mount Kilimanjaro", Hemingway finally found that person's physical death and spiritual death were two disparate concepts; the hero started to seek spiritual immortality and the fulfillment of the exploration was in "For Whom the Bell Tolls". On the third stage, Hemingway found that man was always a loser in the battle of human against nature. But humans can beat death spritely and gain the eternal life. In the novel "The Old Man and The Sea", Hemingway showed detached attitude and the concept of realm. He firmly believed that everyone should be brave to face the death; to overcome the fear of death, in order to maximize the value of life. In this period, Hemingway could stand highly to examine death's tragic beauty, he thought that death must be magnificent and dignity.Mishima Yukio's pursuit of death can also be divided into three stages. In the early days, Mishima Yukio considered death as a kind of beauty; the figures in the works and him were all "romantic yearning". Death was a "clear beauty", described violent but not ruthlessness, such as "Golden Building Temple". Medium, Mishima Yukio began to practice his Political view. Bushido became his quest. In this period of his works were infected with strong political color, he thought that the acme of life was dying for the emperor, such as "Sorrow Kingdom"and other works. At last, Mishima Yukio put his aesthetics, literature and political view all gather in "The Abundance of The Sea", in order to make a summary of his life under the idea of Buddhist "metempsychosis reincarnate". But in fact, for the mind of confusion, Mishima Yukio showed his weakness in the novel, finally he denied the meaning of Three times reincarnation reincarnate. This negation is a negation for the pursuit of Mishima Yukio all life.The exploration of death of Hemingway experienced a confused-accept-beyond process, it is not only a rise of understanding but also a win over death. Yukio's interpretation is a process of die for beauty-emperor-nihility, he misguided in his literary way, then his can only walk narrower and narrower, ultimately nihilism. Hemingway's explanation of death has withstood the test of time, become a spiritual prop against misfortune and death. But from beginning to end, Mishima Yukio's view of death was controversially, nobody can make a final conclusion of him.
