Hemingway has two novels about the First World War, namely, The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms. For a long time, critics have noted that Hemingway’s heroes are characterized by their masculinities. However, the male characters’memories of body trauma in the war have psy-chologically or biologically castrated them and deprived them of masculinity. This essay, through close text analysis, investigates Hemingway heroes’loss of masculinity from the following two perspectives: the loss of social power and the male-gaze of the male’s body. This essay concluded that, the“code hero”in Hemingway’s novels on Worldwide War I, particularly in The Sun Also Rises (SAR) and A Farewell to Arms (AFTA) is only masculine on the sur-face.
