1. What is the significance of the story’s title?
The story actually takes place in another country. The story is set in Milan, Italy.
The group of men were all injured and this created a bond between the few men, and made them different from everyone else.
2. Which character do you think best represents the “Hemingway hero”? Why?
Signore Maggiore is the best representation of the “Hemingway hero”. He suffers with grace and dignity, and works at it every day. He also suffers on an emotional level too. Losing one’s spouse must be the hardest thing for one to go to. However, he also lost his ability to fence completely because of his hand being messed up. He fights and works at what he has to do throughout everything.
I would think that most of the photographs are just up for advertisement and fake. However, there must have been at least a few that benefited from the physical therapy, so those who had a great outcome have their final products up on the wall as well.
