Background Information
Ernest Hemingway is one of
the greatest 20th-century
American writers who have a
tremendous influence on the
literature.
His “iceberg” technique
makes most of his stories
meaningful and effective. “Cat in
the Rain” is the one of the best.
According to him, " There is
seven-eighths of it underwater for
every part that you show. Any
thing you know you can eliminate
and it only strengthens your
iceberg”. The “iceberg” theory
reveals that the design of every
scene, character, plot, movement
has its implicit meaning.
