Hills Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway was first published in August 1927, but it was only briefly after the publication of this esoteric tale that it received the notoriety it deserved; Accompanied by many other encapsulating short stories, “Hills Like White Elephants” plus the other thirteen short stories published by Hemingway in October 1927 constituted his second collection of short stories, “Men Without Women.” However, William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" was the longest play ever written by the Englishman, which is estimated to have been written in the late 16th and early 17th centuries; “Hamlet” is revered not only as one of Shakespeare's greatest literary works, but also as one of the most powerful screenplays to date. Furthermore, both Hemingway's “Hills Like White Elephants” and Shakespeare's “Hamlet” contain themes, qualities, and plots that show the inexplicable absurdity of the universe as well as the human condition; both “Hills Like White Elephants” and “Hamlet” emphasize existential beliefs of meaninglessness regarding human life and the world through the manifestation of these beliefs in the characteristics, motifs, and diegesis present in both of their authors' literary works. Ernest Hemingway expressed the absurdity of life, the universe, and the human condition through the subtleties evident in his writing style in "Hills Like White Elephants" as well as through the subtleties evident in the conversation between the two main characters, "The American" and “Jig”. The absurdity in “Hills Like White Elephants” begins with the introduction of the setting, Hemingway created the setting for “The American” and “Jig” to discuss a very important medium of paper..... ., “Hamlet” were both written with a specific intention in mind, like all literature. Whether the intention is to send an intimate message to the reader - as Hemingway did - or to pay homage to the difficulties of love, family, and relationships on a large scale - as Shakespeare did, authors commonly use literature for the purpose of relating to establish a connection with the person who reads their works. In “Hills Like White Elephants” and “Hamlet” the general themes that the authors want to convey seem invariable, both existential and very complex; However, these literary works not only attempt to provide the reader with extremely useful and truthful theories - which are the product of the authors' minds - but also have made a great effort to show how accurate their perception of life is by demonstrating it. in a very realistic way.
