![]() A Greek philosopher once said that man is born good and society corrupts him-is this Morgan’s case? Is Harry Morgan a victim of the circumstances? Is he a tragic hero? ![]() ![]() Morgan’s life is not an easy one desperate times demand desperate measures, and the 30s sure were desperate times. Once a police officer in Miami, Fla., Morgan later became a fisherman (who also rented his boat out to tourists and taught them how to fish), alternating between Cuba and the Florida Keys. Not only through the actual narration, but also with the writing style, Hemingway helps the reader catch a glimpse of Morgan’s life of uncertainty and instability by changing the speaker from time to time, without notice. In his 1930s novel “To Have and Have Not,” Ernest Hemingway narrates the story of Harry Morgan’s death-not his life, for all that is left for Morgan to do is die. ![]()
