love this land of Spain, love the place and love of life is self-contained in the land 
of pine forest, either at the beginning or at the end when Robert waits for his death 
poet strikes his heart hammered near the forest floor. The novel graphically 
describes the brutality of a civil war. It is told primarily through the thoughts and 
experiences of the protagonist, Robert Jordan. The character was inspired by 
Hemingway's own experiences in the Spanish Civil War as a reporter for the North 
American Newspaper Alliance. Jordan is an American in the International 
Brigades who travels to Spain to oppose Francisco Franco's fascist forces. As an 
experienced dynamiter, Jordan was ordered by a Soviet general to travel behind 
enemy lines and destroy a bridge with the aid of a band of local anti-
fascist guerrillas, in order to prevent enemy troops from being able to respond to an 
upcoming offensive. (The Soviet Union actually aided and advised the Republicans 
against the fascists in the Spanish Civil War. Similarly, Hitler's Germany and 
Mussolini's Italy provided Franco with military aid. [2]
 
In their camp, Jordan encounters María, a young Spanish woman whose life 
had been shattered by her parents' execution and her rape at the hands of 
theFalangists (part of the fascist coalition) at the outbreak of the war. His strong 
sense of duty clashes with both willingness of the guerrilla leader Pablo to commit 
to an operation that would endanger himself and his band, and Jordan's newfound 
lust for life which arises out of his love for María. However, when another band of 
anti-fascist guerrillas, led by El Sordo, is surrounded and killed, Pablo decides to 
betray Jordan by stealing the dynamite caps, hoping to prevent the demolition. In 
the end Jordan improvises a way to detonate his dynamite and destroy the bridge, 
and Pablo returns to assist in the operation after facing the loneliness of 
abandoning his comrades. However, the enemy, having previously been apprised 
of the coming offensive, has prepared to ambush it in force, and it seems very 
unlikely that the blown bridge will do much to prevent a rout. Jordan is maimed 
when a tank shoots his horse out from under him. Knowing he would only slow his 
comrades down, he bids goodbye to María and ensures that she escapes to safety 
with the surviving guerrillas. He refuses an offer from another fighter to shoot him

and lies in agony, hoping to kill an enemy officer and a few soldiers, and delay 
their pursuit of his comrades before dying or being killed. The narration ends right 
before Jordan launches his ambush.. 
 
Hemingway frequently used images to produce the dense atmosphere of 
violence and death his books are renowned for; the main image of 
For Whom the 
Bell Tolls
is the automatic weapon. As he had done in "
A Farewell to Arms
", 
Hemingway employs the fear of modern armament to destroy romantic 
conceptions of the ancient art of war: combat, sportsmanlike competition and the 
aspect of hunting. Heroism becomes butchery: the most powerful picture employed 
here is the shooting of María's parents against the wall of a slaughterhouse. Glory 
exists in the official dispatches only; here, the "disillusionment" theme of 

Farewell to Arms
is adapted.

The fascist planes are especially dreaded, and when they approach, all hope 
is lost. The efforts of the partisans seem to vanish, their commitment and their 
abilities become meaningless. ", especially the trench mortars that already 
wounded Lt. Henry ("he knew that they would die as soon as a mortar came 
up"). No longer would the best soldier win, but the one with the biggest gun. The 
soldiers using those weapons are simple brutes, they lack "all conception of 
dignity" as Fernando remarked. Anselmo insisted, "We must teach them. We must 
take away their planes, their automatic weapons, their tanks, and their artillery and 
teach them.
 
The novel also contains imagery of soil and earth, most famously when 
Jordan has sex with María at the start of chapter thirteen and feels "the earth move 
out and away from under them" then afterwards asks María, "Did thee feel the 
earth move?", variants of which have become a cultural cliché, often used 
humorously[2]
