Summary/Abstract: Exploiting the much representative triad of concepts for Hemingway’s prose, For Whom the Bell Tolls becomes another crucial writing in deciphering the author’s moral evolution, along with his inner turmoils. The impetuous need to defend one’s own principles and values freezes any extrinsic movement and time. Such poignant matter had war been, that it had followed Hemingway disregarding time. There is no other man-made happening to equal war in terms of dehumanization and corrosion of the self. The novel also unveils the attempt of love to become disentangled from this wretched entity.
