Maybe the Hills are White Elephants?
In Ernest Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants,” we find two people outside of a pub/tavern waiting for a train drinking a few beers and enjoying their times. As the story goes on we see that the man is somewhat of a protagonist of the story because we see him start multiple unnecessary arguments with her throughout the story. When she says that the hills resemble "white elephants" and the man seems uninterested and argues with her whether or not he has seen a "white elephant". Noticing that "Hills Like White Elephants" was written in the 1920's, the topic of the story continues to be a controversial subject because not once does neither say what they’re actually talking about.
