On Hemingway's Feminist Consciousness from Cat in the Rain 1. Criticism of Hemingway’ s works’ smearingIt is known that Hemingway has an important position in the literary history, his contribution to American literature is an indisputable fact.However, the image of Hemingway's female critics has been aroused heated arguments, and sometimes his attitudes to women are the focus in the critic world.A considerable number of critics thinks that Hemingway was a male chauvinist, which leads to the result that his work is more of a "tough guy" image, and a kind of discrimination against women. After the rise of feminism, Hemingway's female characters suffered more blame than praise. Some activists have not been satisfied with the so-called macho and dismissed it as "misogyny complex".Some critics tend to excavate materials from the private life of Ernest Hemingway, interpreting their work, analyzing the figures. This seems quite natural to come to the conclusion of Hemingway’s being hatred of women. He has re peatedly accused his mother as "she is a bitch," "That bitch!" For a woman giving his life and a love, this is indeed an insult to be added. He has not a happy marriage relationship. Hemingway had attacked Fitzgerald’s wife Zelda that he was jealous Fitzgerald’s talents to interfere his writing process. This is also listed as an example of his hostility toward women. Won him the Nobel Prize in Literature, "The Old Man and the Sea" is obviously a work concerning about the world of men - the book actually has no female role. His male characters owned "grace under pressure" and is a"tough guy", while female characters often seem to be as a foil or the opposite existence. Therefore, Edmund Wilson ,as the representative of part of the critics, pointed out the people in Hemingway’s works as "male chauvinist pigs."2.Hemingway’s women image tend to feministRobert. Keluser and other critics took Albright. Anshly, Maria and other female characters as the basis that: Hemingway is a feminist writer. His work has a strongfeminist tendencies. Many female characters should not have been cast aside, but should be sympathetic to, even admirable. This view has been affirmation for the first time to the repeatedly ignored or disparaged female characters of Hemingway's and certainly refreshes, and it has its unique feature. In his novels, there is not lack of feminist consciousness of Hemingway, and several of them were launched from the female consciousness. Hemingway also shows his own feelings in shaping their women characters on different occasions at different times.3.The Rebellious Image of Women in Hemingway’s Work—Cat in the Rain“Cat in the Rain” talks about a story of a woman who stays in a hotel with her husband, when she looks outside of the window to lighten her dull, she sees a cat in the rain. The woman shows her sympathy to that cat and desires to rescue it. She expresses her thought to her husband who was reading on the bed, actually he reads from the beginning to the end without considering his wife's idea. Then she plans to catch the cat herself, at that time, the owner of the hotel meets the woman, she said her idea to the boss after the cat was run away . Ant the end of the story, the woman was complain about the cat to her husband, a servant send a big tortoiseshell cat different from the cat in the rain.There were only near 2000 words in this novel, and it exists through the American wife's perspective. The American wife and her husband's relationship actually is not very harmony. The man is always reading on the bed without response to his wife warmly, which leads her to look out side the window. The man is apathy to his wife as they live in that age, which the woman have to obey to the man totally. The whole society is male-dominated, but the women at that time can't bear them and they just want to be independent from the men, the women in “Cat in the Rain” is a represent of the individual women. Hemingway expresses his ideas of women protest the patriarchal traditions.There are only 7 main image in this short novel, the American couple, the cat, the rain, the servant and the hotel owner. In western culture, the cat has a close relationship of metaphor with women. The cat is an important clue that runs through this novel, from the American wife finds the cat in the rain to she express she want to get that cat, then the hotel owner sends a a big tortoiseshell cat to her, the cat alsobecomes a motive to promote the plot develop."Cat" in English is regarded as "evil-minded women", therefore the cat in this novel can be seen as the woman, in the meantime, the cat itself is gentle, adorable, and needs to be protected. The cat in the rain are just like the women live in the shadow of male-dominated society. Their similarity is being lonely, adrift, insecurity, they also can't control their own destine. This means the women have to be controled by the men, their desires are also be repressed. We can see the American wife in this novel is very gentle, but her husband's cold attitude makes her need something to accompany her, at that time, the cat in the rain attracts her attention, she consider the single, helpless cat as her self, so she wants to protect it, look after it or gain it. The cat's bitter experience and unfortune date certainly resonated with the American wife herself's destiny, so she offers the thought of protect the cat, which indicates that the woman herself want to be protected. And the cat lies under the chair to shelter from the rain means the women want to escape the bondage of traditional social position of women, and they also want to persue more rights and find their own position in the society. "'And I want to eat at a table with my own silver and I want candles. And I want it to be spring and I want to brush my hair out in front of a mirror and I want a kitty and I want some new clothes.' " the American wife said to her husband, "'Anyway, I want a cat,' she said, 'I want a cat. I want a cat now. If I can't have long hair or any fun I can have a cat.' " but what she get from her husband is just "shut up"from her husband. The American wife want to change her situation, appearance, hair-style, and the relationship with her husband. This also shows her modern feminism consciousness appeared.4.Causes of the Female ImageAs an outstanding representative of "Lost Generation", Hemingway's distinguished position in literary world in the United States and his contribution to the development of American literature has been recorded in history. Hemingway’s image of women is the fragment and the silhouette of the course of whole Western civilization, which takes male power as the axis. It is also an exact reproduction of literary works. Hemingway’s contradictory views on women are formed under the influence of cultural background and life experiences in that era, and his views on women has played a huge impact on his life and art.Hemingway lived in the end of 19th century and mid-20th century, this particularturn of the old and new era of cultural ethos and historical events played a very important role in Hemingway's values, world views and concepts of the formation of women. As thousands of years of patriarchal culture, heritage, people's consciousness is invisibly influenced by the patriarchal culture, Hemingway is a writer with a strong sense of male subject, The independence of women he advocated is permitted within the scope of men, and doesn’t damage the main location. He truly works on women's living conditions, emotional needs, values, and expression. He shows his understanding and support to what the women required including female equality, freedom, liberation, requiring the same right to education, employment, voting rights and this requirements reflect the need of human civilization. Although the patriarchal culture has been on the wane, but several thousand years of cultural domination and influence, everyone of patriarchal culture has "collective unconscious". Hemingway could not completely give up men stand. Though he supported women's liberation movement and enjoy the independent, brave woman, he was afraid of the result women liberation movement developed into, such as the formation of female supremacy, female domination male. so he thinks the right women requested should not threaten the dignity and the authority of men,. It is in this time under the influence of cultural background, Hemingway’s views of women have become so complex and contradictory.Hemingway was living in a time there is a decline of Western patriarchal culture, but a rise of female consciousness, feminist movement of the twentieth century. As a result of two world wars, the traditional values have been destructed. People confronted a world which Nietzsche predicted an era of "value" evaluation. The so-called "Greenwich Village thought" swept in the United States in 1920s .This thought influenced the lives of men and women profoundly. Many poor writers and artists lived in Greenwich Village, living a unique life, forming a "Greenwich Village thought", to resist the traditional "business - Protestant Christian morality." Hemingway's life circumstances are being wrapped in women: his mother, his four wives, and his lovers. Those women are more or less influenced by" Greenwich Village thought," they have their own personality and temperament. The rising feminist movement, the practice of female life have an impact on the writer, Ernest Hemingway's thoughts, so he clearly recognize in that new era the trend women in the pursuit of self irreversibly. This is why Hemingway can recognize those women who have self-awareness and rebellious spirit from both perspectives of men and women.So fundamentally, the concepts of Hemingway's women is beyond the eternal myth category what Western patriarchal culture called.Bibliography[1]周杰.《简论海明威笔下女性形象》辽宁师专学报，2007年第6期.[2]赵玉君《父权意识与海明威女性形象的塑造》，山东莱阳农学院。

《雨中的猫》的隐喻手法赏析以海明威的作品《雨中的猫》为研究对象，以作品中隐喻的运用分析为切入点，从谋篇布局、环境描写和人物形象刻画等三个层面对作品进行了深入剖析和探讨。

通过分析，可以更好地体会一代文豪是如何在其作品中运用隐喻手法来达到艺术效果的。

标签：雨中的猫；隐喻；运用；赏析作为一种艺术符号，隐喻具有暗示性，暗示性的产生和这种艺术符号形态的构建模式紧密相关。

主体没有明确表达其内在情感，而是故意隐藏了自己的内心世界，遮蔽了心灵。

他/她吝啬地取出一点充满想象空间的意象，让接受主体也就是读者自己体会并理解。

而艺术之所以存在生命的根本，就是她将虚幻的意义与具体的形象融合在了一起，而这种新的结合，一定会引发人们本能的好奇与冲动，去体会主体的快乐、忧伤、希望和绝望。

而读者的理解一定是建立在自身的生活与情感经历之上的，所以当人们重塑艺术主体的情感与意义时，就会产生不同的理解版本。

也就是说，时代的变迁，读者的变化，背景的差异，会使人们不断创造出带有自身影子的新的意义，而新意义产生的过程便使得隐喻这种艺术符号有了永恒的艺术价值。

《雨中的猫》（Cat in the Rain）是海明威于1923年创作的一篇以女性为主体的短篇小说佳作，后收录在《在我们的时代里》。

它讲述了一对美国年轻夫妇到意大利旅游，因外面下着雨而只能待在旅馆里的小故事。

故事短小而简单，中心内容是讲述这对夫妇百无聊赖之时，太太不经意中发现有只猫蜷缩在窗外的桌子底下躲雨，于是心生怜悯，想要把它抱到楼上来，出去寻猫的时候，猫却不见了，回到旅馆房间向丈夫抱怨。

正在这时，旅店老板差使女侍把一只大玳瑁猫送到了她面前，故事到此戛然而止。

《雨中的猫》在谋篇布局、环境描写、人物刻画等各个层面，处处充满象征和隐喻。

一、谋篇布局海明威在生活中就是个爱猫之人，所以在他的作品中，猫和女人总是存在着或内或外的联系。

这一点在不少其他作者的作品中也不难发现，文人倾向于把猫和女人联系在一起，或许他们认为猫与女人共享着一种阴柔的气质。

Cat in the Rain – Critique/SummarySummary:The story “Cat in the Rain” written by Ernest Hemingway is about a couple that stay in Italy. The woman in the story sees a cat abandoned outside in the rain under a table and wants to get him and bring him into her hotel room. When she finally convinces her husband to let her go out and get him, it is gone. She returns to the room with out a cat and her husband is still propped up on a pillow reading his book. He insists she lay down and read a book, when she starts talking about how much she wants a cat, how she wants it to be sitting in her lap as she brushes her hair. A short while later one of the hotel workers who helped her try to find the cat the first time had discovered his presence and bought him to her.Critique:The story “Cat in the Rain” talks about a cat stuck outside in the rain, but I don’t think that this is what Hemingway meant when he wrote this story. I like how Hemingway started the story off with describing the setting, where the two Americans were and how they were the only ones stopping in to this particular hotel. It gives the reader something to picture right off the bat. I think that Hemingway could have described the characters in more detail to get a better understanding of them. Also I think the in-depth description of the hotel wasn’t necessary I would of liked to see the description put in to the characters more. I really liked the way Hemingway’s character the American Woman acted because it felt very real to something in real life. The way Hemingway portrayed the woman at first was more along the lines of a nagging wife, but when she goes to the window to see the cat her persona changes, I liked this because it made me get into her head and see how she was feeling Hemingway started in a unique way because I very rarely see a story start like this, and he pulled it off very well. The description of the location and setting pulled me right into the story, I liked this because it kept me interested and wanting to keep reading. I think the title that was given to the wife as the “American Wife” lacks individuality and has no special meaning, signifying that she is just a mere American Woman and nothing else. I think that the title Hemingway chose was to portray that the wife felt that she was condoned to George her husband and that he never really paid much attention to her. This lack of attention makes her feel that she does not have much freedom to express herself and keeps much of her feelings inside. She definitely feels the restraint that George has put on her, and in order to please him, she attempts to make herself compact just like the cat.I think this is why Hemingway makes it seem that she is so attached and drawn to helping the cat out of the rain.。

Cat in the rain"Cat in the Rain" is one of Hemingway’s famous short stories, it was about an American couple spent their holiday in an Italian hotel. The woman in the story wanted to bring a cat that crouched under a table in the rain to her hotel room. When she tried to get the cat, however, it went away. Then she went back and had a conversation with her husband about finding out the cat and also about changing her whole Life. But her husband seemed to be terribly annoyed by her and not interested at all. Finally, another cat was sent to her room by the hotelkeeper.In my opinion, “cat and rain” is the main clue of the story. Especially the “cat”, it is a key role that impulses the development of the plot and also it has some connection with the woman. The rain symbols the strong power of men and her husband like the rain makes her feel unsafe and unsatisfied and the cat in the rain is just like the woman is under the stress of the men. The cat tries to hide itself means that the woman wants to find her position in the masculine’s society. The hotel keeper is like the table where she can hide herself. She needs someone to love her and take care of her, and those are the qualities that her husband doesn't have.When seeing the wild cat in the rain, a strong desire of helping the cat appears in the wife’s heart, and even she herself can’t explain why she wants the cat so much. That kind of desire reveals that the woman pursues freedom and independence. In my view, because the wife doe sn’t realize her inside f eeling and her confusion, so she can not be free."The Cat in the Rain", a simple story of an American couple’s life in Italy, but has much deeper meanings.英语093李嫣然。

Cat in the rainThere were only two Americans stopping at the hotel. They did not know any of the people they passed on the stairs on their way to and from their room. Their room was on the second floor facing the sea. It also faced the public garden and the war monument. There were big palms and green benches in the public garden. In the good weather there was always an artist with his easel. Artists liked the way the palms grew and the bright colors of the hotels facing the gardens and the sea. Italians came from a long way off to look up at the war monument. It was made of bronze and glistened in the rain. It was raining. The rain dripped from the palm trees. Water stood in pools on the gravel paths. The sea broke in a long line in the rain and slipped back down the beach to come up and break again in a long line in the rain. The motor cars were gone from the square by the war monument. Across the square in the doorway of the cafe a waiter stood looking out at the empty square.呆在旅馆里的只有两个美国人。

Cat in the rain很明显，猫与女人之间有着一种密切的隐喻关系。

猫在雨中的境况，恰如女人在这个男权社会中的境况。

“雨”具有强大的无所不在的覆盖性、不可阻挡的强制性和力量，象征着男性为中心的男权社会以及强大的男性话语霸权猫作为象征男权社会中的女性形象，其特点无非是：寄身于人，漂泊不定，躲避危险，苟且为生，这种生存状态意味着女性在男权社会中被男性所支配、所左右，难于找到自己的位置。

“雨中的猫”象征着丧失了主体意识的女性。

这只猫的命运和它所处的境地使她产生一种很深刻的共鸣。

她力图帮助那只猫摆脱被动与恐惧的处境。

女主人公的动机起码有两点：一是自恋与自慰，她保护了猫，也就是意识上的自我保护。

她通过“救猫”的行为(情感的投射作用)，实现了自救。

二是自我力量的显示，她渴望通过保护这只猫来证明自己的作用——她可以决定另外一个事物的力量，这是一种英雄主义的感受。

她渴望改变自己的处境，改变外表，改变发型，改变自己的地位，改变她与丈夫在家庭中的关系。

总之，她要更新自我。

但妻子毕竟试图改变过，这种改变的动因源于一只雨中的猫，还因为寻找猫的过程中遇到了旅馆的老板。

她走出房间后看到了旅馆的老板，这个意大利老人站在办公桌后向她鞠躬，他让人给她送伞。

他表现出了一种尊重、一种关切，这让妻子感受到了自我，让她有了一种“被重视”的感觉：“旅馆老板让她感到一种淡淡的同时又很重要的感觉。

”这是她在家中与丈夫相处时所感受不到的。

因此，她喜欢这种感觉，于是她就喜欢他：Obviously, the cat and the women have a close relationship to metaphor. Cat in the rain situation, as women in the patriarchal society. " Rain" is a powerful omnipresent coverage, unstoppable mandatory and power, symbolizing the male-centered patriarchal society as well as the powerful male discourse hegemony in the cat as a symbol of the image of women in the patriarchal society, its characteristics are: home to people, erratic, to avoid danger, struggling for life, the survival status means that women in a patriarchal society, the male dominated by left and right, it is difficult to find their own position. " Cat in the rain" is a symbol of the loss of subject consciousness of the femaleThe cat and the fate of it where she has a very deep resonance. She tries to help the cat out of the passive situation with fear. The heroine of the motivation of at least two points : one is the narcissistic and masturbation, she protected the cat, also is the consciousness of self protection. She passed the" save the cat" behavior ( emotional projection ), to realize self-rescue. Two is a show of strength, she longed for by protecting the cat to prove his role -- she can decide to another thing, it is a kind of heroic feelings.
