Robert Jordan's survival in Ernest Hemingway's for whom the bell tolls

The theme of bravery and cowardice, in addition to the idea of death and
survival are marvelously developed throughout one of Ernest Hemingway?s
works, For Whom the Bell Tolls. Robert Jordan as the main protagonist, during
the analysis, is proven to be a character who insists on continuing to survive
during the perilous circumstances. The issue of his endurance leads me to question
the important reasons that motivate him to uphold his survival as well as another
fascinating curiosity about what he performs to survive. In doing this study, I use
characterization and conflict as the main tools to disclose Robert Jordan?s ways to
survive and a supporting concept of motivation is also utilized especially to reveal
Jordan?s reasons to uphold his survival. By applying those tools and theory in the
analysis, I figure out that his causes to endure are his bravery in fighting against
suicide and the dreams that occupy his mind. Furthermore, the ways that Jordan
applies to survive are by giving war education and training to the guerilla and the
gypsies and by being a rational person. At the end of the analysis, I wrap up that
all action and attitude that Jordan performs lead him to survive.
