Abstract: One type of image in Hemingway’s novels is generally called “code hero”. The “code hero” has been interpreted as courageous and stubborn.. “Code hero” is not a concept concerned with individuals, but with groups. Also the trait of courageous character and the quality of stubborn spirit are just superficial phenomena. The essence of “Code Hero” is a pessimistic world outlook and an aesthetic faith in life. However, there are still active elements in the character of Hemingway’s Code Hero, and those active elements of Code Hero are determinant to form the characters of “Code Hero”. Hemingway’s three important novels, “A Fare well to Arms”, “For Whom the Bells Tolls” and “The Old Man and the Sea”, can be regarded as a trilogy of code heroes. Through the three heroes’ life experiences and their pursuit of values, this trilogy demonstrates the process of the development of the “code hero”, and thus represents the course of the construction of this world outlook and this faith in life. I will analyze the active elements of Code Hero in Hemingway’s three representative works and explain their determinant role to form Hemingway’s Code Hero.
Key Words: Hemingway; Code Hero; Active Elements

摘  要：海明威作品中的一类主人公形象往往被称为“硬汉子形象”，它象征着顽强、勇敢的精神。但“硬汉子形象”是一个群体概念，而不是一个单一的个体。顽强、勇敢的精神也只是它的一种表象。“硬汉子形象”的实质是一种悲观的人生观和世界观，但其中不乏一些积极因素，而且这些积极因素对硬汉子形象的发展和形成起到决定性作用。海明威的三部作品：《永别了，武器》、《丧钟为谁而鸣》和《老人与海》被看作是“硬汉子形象”的三部曲。三部作品中的主人公对人生的追求展现了“硬汉子形象”发展的三个阶段，同时也反映了作者人生观和世界观的改变。本文将分析这三部作品中的“硬汉子形象”中的积极因素，并说明它们的决定性作用。
