Hemingway (2)

In class, we have touched upon the role of the Woman -- specifically, the wife -- in both Noa Noa and A Moveable Feast.  In Hemingway's memoir, we have the sense that he is accepted into the folds of the insular, inclusionary expatriate community.  He navigates within the network of writers and artists (British and American), and travels within/without France with remarkable mobility.  To a striking extent, "the wives" are characterized in altogether different terms.  Hadley infers that she is invisible and muzzled, and Zelda's "insanity" may in fact result from her neglect and isolation.  Reflect upon the ways in which the figure of the American in Paris is gendered in Hemingway's text: does *everyone* thrive, as it were, in Paris?
