Men, Women, and Relationships. At the heart of “Hills Like White Elephants” is Hemingway’s examination of the man and girl’s deeply flawed relationship, a relationship that champions “freedom” at the cost of honesty, respect, and commitment.

In the story, Hemingway refers to the Ebro River and to the bare, sterile-looking mountains on one side of the train station and to the fertile plains on the other side of the train station. The hills of Spain, to the girl, are like white elephants in their bareness and round, protruding shape.

Thesis Statement : In the tension-filled short story “Hills Like White Elephants,” Ernest Hemingway uses several literary elements such as conflict, theme, and plot structure to emphasize a decision a couple must face about life or death.
