Ernest Hemingway’s novel, "The Sun Also Rises," epitomizes the lives of the “Lost Generation.” The people pertaining to this era were consumed by World War I and it affected them in a way in which they lost hope for love, faith, and mankind.

Through the use of symbolism, the reader is able to grasp the themes of the novel. The novel is written in a first person point of view by narrator and protagonist, Jake Barnes.
