Explanation:

Hemingway's "Hills Like White Elephants," displays a hollow communication between the two main characters. Both exist in different realms altogether. They are present physically together but their communication acts as a window to their reality - they are emotionally distant. Existing in completely different realms, they are unable to merge with one another. It shows how they are unable to embrace each other. Both the characters are conversing but there is no depth in it. It is empty and there is a disconnection in the very foundation of their relationship. This is well portrayed by Hemingway.
