Please give a short of psychological profile of The American in "Hills Like White Elephants."

In Hemingway's "Hills Like White Elephants," the character
the American appears to be an overly selfish person who is used to getting his way
without consequences.  Over the course of his conversation with Jig, it becomes apparent
that the two are talking about the baby whom they have conceived and whether or not the
baby should be aborted.  The American tells Jig that he loves her and that he will
support any decision that she makes; however, when she suggests keeping the baby, he
tries to convince her otherwise.  He also implicitly threatens to end their relationship
if Jig does not comply with his wishes.  The American refuses to even try to understand
Jig's position on the issue and is content to simply walk away from what he now sees as
a mess.  From this, one might draw the conclusion that the American does not like
commitment and prefers to be in control of his own destiny.
