Hills like white elephants

Outline
Litterary thesis :
Hills like white elephants shows us a conversation between a couple concerning an abortion with the point of view of the man and the girl in the story.

Symbols:
White elephants can represent the fact that the woman is pregnant. The man sees it as an obstacle while the girl sees it as an extraordinary thing.

Also, the train tracks separates the landscape in two. One side is dry, barren and there are hills while the other is green and fertile farmlands. The girl always ''looks across the hills''. We can assume she is considering the idea of the abortion.

When that the man moves himself the luggage to the other side of the station, we can assume that he is the one making the decisions. This is contradictory compared with what he said to her, that it was her opinion about it that mattered.
