I think that part of the story's beauty is that it really
does not offer a resolution. In a commitment to present consciousness as it is,
Hemingway does not capitulate to traditional storytelling narrative where a resolution
is present. In doing so, the realistic manner in which the conversation is constructed
would disappear. Instead, Hemingway offers a portrait of reality, complete with the
realistic element where an ending resolution is not entirely evident. Part of the
reason for this is that the story is constructed and simultaneously concealed by
dialogue. The third person narration is present, but it is secondary to the dialogue
between the man and woman that allows the full force of the story to be understood. We
only know of the discussion's topic through dialogue. It is only through dialogue that
we understand more of the characterizations of each character. Yet, it is because of
this that there is not a full resolution present nor is there a complete grasp of the
force of the situation. In the end, it is this element that prevents full resolution to
be recognized.
