Hemingway’s iceberg theory

用户668908

An iceberg moving in the sea is majestic because only one-eighth of it is above the water.” In other words, seven-eighths of the writer's thoughts and feelings are behind the image. Only an eighth of the tip of the ice can be seen on the tip of the pen. Don't kidnap other people's thinking, don't impose their own views and ideas to the reader, the real good work will not give people the feeling of full view. The iceberg theory is actually a metaphor for the idea that a person's self is like an iceberg, that we see only a small part of the surface-behavior-while a larger part of the inner world is hidden at a deeper level, invisible, like an iceberg. Including behavior, coping style, feelings, views, expectations, desires, self-seven levels.

  Read a lot of famous books, have been afraid to comment, not entirely because of cowardice, more is a kind of respect psychology; Because as a famous work actually have his profound side, in the seemingly plain writing, revealed is the benevolence of the people, the wisdom of the people; This is why most of the masterpieces passed down through the ages are essays and novels. Poetry and criticism become heroes of The Times because of their distinct personalities and opinions, and are eventually used as tools or become vase decorations because of the passage of time.

  The so-called "iceberg" theory is to compare literary works to an iceberg. When the writer shapes the iceberg, only the "eighth" is exposed to the surface of the water, while the "seven-eighth" part under the surface is the feelings and thoughts consciously hidden by the author. Through relatively concise language and writing, while using objective description techniques as much as possible, the author expresses his own full of feelings and thoughts. This process is the process of readers' own thinking, which is a great harvest in reading.
