In the light of existentialism and sociocriticism, the aim is to use these two tendencies to highlight how the characters of Hemingway struggle against the absurdity of existence. Furthermore, what would be the ultimate outcome of the encounter between the revelation of the void that pervades the lives of these characters and their disillusionment with what they expected from life? Our analysis will consist first in showing the complexity of the characters engaged on this path without apparent landmarks that constitutes existence. Then, it will analyze the expressions of loss and despair in the characters' actions. Finally, it will unveil the emptiness of existence through Hemingway's characters.
