 Refer to The Sun Also Rises

Hemingway writes in Death in the Afternoon about wanting after the war to learn how to write:

"I was trying to write then and I found the greatest difficulty, aside from knowing truly what you really felt, rather than what you were supposed to feel, and had been taught to feel, was to put down what really happened in action; what the actual things were which produced the emotions you experienced....The only place where you could see life and eath...was in the bullring and I wanted very much to go to Spain where I could study it. I was trying to learn to write, commencing with the simplet things, and one of the simplest things of all and the most fundamental was violent death."

What characteristics of the bullfight does Hemingway apply to and in his writing, both in his novels and in his short fiction?

Picadors lance the bull

 

The Matador has stabbed the bull with his sword after the bull has received many lances from the picadors. The bull will fall over dead.
