ABSTRACT. Ernest Hemingway is highly likely to have been a full-blown borderline personality covering all of the nine symptoms – his self-willed narcissism in the grandiose spectrum overlapping this basic masonry, his alcohol consumption meeting with, and getting absorbed in the fourth borderline symptom. If we mean to contextualise his drinking place-wise then, we need to consider his larger-than-life dimensions, and draw not only on Hemingway himself, but also on his braggadocio construct and at least on two aliases, Jake Barnes (The Sun Also Rises) and Frederic Henry (A Farewell to Arms).

Keywords: Ernest Hemingway; the Midwestern style; the Finca Vigía style; the Italian style; the Paris style; the Spanish style
