If approaching The Snows of Kilimanjaro from the perspective of literary stylistics, readers will find the following: The fiction seems fragmented and difficult to understand, but the employment of repetition, parallelism, symbolism, metaphor, pun, oxymoron and stream of consciousness technique makes it a unified whole. The repetition of"death"by Harry himself and the use of symbolism lead readers to understand the final ending of Harry: death out of gangrene. Also, through repetition, a character that has no love and who regrets over his waste of talent is presented to the readers. The use of stream of consciousness technique provides readers with a window into Harry's past life and his deeply poignant personal regret. Harry has the potentiality to make achievements in writing, but he, disillusioned by war, wasted his talent due to lying, laziness, incontinence, and indulgence in comfort life. He had died spiritually even before he got infected. The rescue by the plane is just Harry's illusion, and the rebirth of him may only be the author or the readers'expectation.展开更多
