 firearm is an extension of the individual’s capacity to resist evil forces and
 fight with existential heroism for the good.
+Firearms play minor roles in other Hemingway novels and stories: the
+shotguns Col.Cantwell uses in the opening duck-hunting sequence of Across
+the River and into the Trees (); the . Magnum carried by Thomas Hudson in Islands in the Stream () and the Thompson gun used to shoot
+sharks in that novel; the shotgun used by the father in “A Day’s Wait” to dispense death to quail while his beloved son is lying in bed at home mistakenly expecting his own death. Finally, the last gun for Hemingway was the
+“double-barreled Boss shotgun with a tight choke” with which he took his
+own life (Baker ).
+What,finally, can we say about the role of gunsin the works of Hemingway
+and Mailer? They are virtually ubiquitous, sometimes mere everyday equipment, more often objects of profound symbolic and thematic significance.But
+always, as in life, they loom as instruments that amplify the individual’s influence on the world around him.Whether used to hunt game, commit murder,
+or fight for a political ideal, every gun is a tool that extends the power of the
+existential human will in a world that would attempt to render it impotent.
