The desolate city of Paris conveys the aimlessness and emptiness of the expatriates, the sunlit countryside of Bayonne are a flash of meaning and satisfaction for Jake and Bill, while the hectic Pamplona bull fights reflect the unstable relationship among the expatriates. These settings reflect the rapidly shifting psychological state of the characters: They live in dark cycles of aimlessness and immorality marked by overindulgence and alcoholism, with a brief sunrise in periods of self-consciousness and meaning when living moderately.

In The Sun Also Rises by Earnest Hemingway, there are two main settings: France and Spain. The novel begins in Paris, France with the narrator and protagonist, Jake Barnes lives and immerses himself in his journalism. Paris is known to be a place of great beauty, and was a common place for many writers to reside in the 1920’s. This initial setting of Paris served to contrast the excitement and beauty yet corruption and uneasiness that is the enigma of Paris. This is where Jake lives, he frequents bars and parallels his author Hemingway in his general detachment from the war. The second setting is in Spain where Burguete, Pamplona and Madrid are visited. Burguete is a more rustic part of the country where Jake and Bill go to be one with nature and go fishing. This setting was the most different from Pamplona and Paris, for its unadulterated nature and simplicity of the landscape. However, the fiesta in Pamplona was a grand event where Brett was moved by Pedro Romero. Pamplona was a small city known for its bull-fighting, and the place where tension unfolds when the main characters get drunk and fight for Brett’s affection. The settings in this novel are parallel to the events that unfold there.
