Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961) was an American master of modern literature.

I had many difficulties due to my marriage to many women.

He became known to the world for his novel <A Farewell to Arms>, and later published various works such as <For Whom the Bell Tolls> and <The Old Man and the Sea> to establish himself as a representative writer of American literature.

Before she turned 20, Hemingway suffered from the betrayal of her even engaged lover, Agnes, and she became the inspiration for the heroine in the novel <A Farewell to Arms>. 1929.

And although he lived a more mature life through the war called World War I, he was still young and needed medical care due to his injuries.

1. Hadley Richardson, Hemingway’s first wife

Around September, when he was resting at home and recuperating with his family, a high school friend offered him a job writing in Toronto, and he readily accepted when he had nothing to do.

Since he had a knack for writing, the work was not difficult and he began to show his talent. Later that year, he began working as a freelance and exclusive writer for a magazine called <Toronto Star Weekly>.

He then returned to Michigan in June of the following year, and moved to Chicago in September, where he lived with friends and wrote an article for the Toronto Star Weekly.

On the one hand, he was working as the deputy editor of the monthly magazine <Commonwealth Cooperative>.

At this time, he meets a beautiful girl named Hadley Richardson to meet the sister of a friend who lived with Hemingway.

Hemingway fell in love with Hadley’s charm. Hadley was 29, eight years older than Hemingway.

Hadley Richardson (1891–1979) was born in St. Louis.

Her mother, Florence Wyman Richardson, was an accomplished musician and singer, and her father, James Richardson, worked for a family-owned pharmaceutical company.

Hadley’s father commits suicide in 1903 when he suffers financial difficulties.

She was a shy, reclusive girl in her childhood. When her mother contracted Bright’s disease, Hadley nursed her mother until her death.

Hadley, who lost her beloved mother, visited her former roommate and friend Kate Smith in Chicago in December 1920.

However, I first met Hemingway, who was living with Kate’s brother there.

Hemingway, who fell in love with Hadley’s charm, said, “I knew at first sight that Hadley was the woman to marry,” appealing to her that her meeting with Hadley was fateful.

Hadley, who has a maternal instinct, also did not dislike Hemingway.

Despite her age gap with Hemingway, Hadley, who grew up under her overprotective mother’s skirt width, looked young for a woman her age.

Hemingway biographer Bernice Kurt says Hadley is reminiscent of Agnes, but Hadley had the aegyo and childishness that Agnes did not have.

In the winter of 1920, when Hadley returned to St. Louis, Hadley started music again, and exchanged letters with Hemingway during the winter.

When she expressed concern about the age gap, Hemingway relieved Hadley that it was no problem at all.

Hemingway visited Hadley’s house in st. Louis in March 1921 and enjoyed the date, and two weeks later Hadley went to Chicago to enjoy the date.

After that, they didn’t see each other for two months until May, but in June they announced their engagement, defying opposition from those around them.

2. Hadley’s faith in Hemingway talent and her legacy

Hadley believed he was well aware of what he was doing and, above all, believed in Hemingway’s talent.

And he believed in his legacy from parents, who could be financial support for Hemingway as young as eight years.

Hadley is known for being a beautiful woman with clean facial skin and dark brown hair.

Her beauty was praised by many people. Her beautiful beauty was enough for Hemingway to fall in love.

As the biographer said, he may have fallen in love because he could find his first love Agnes in Hadley’s appearance.

In his autobiography, Hemingway described Hadley’s appearance as “long as a muffler” face, “crowned up” nose, “elegant lips” and “little oak-like hair with rough blonde hair.”

They fell in love with each other so deeply that they finally married on September 3, 1921, in Bay Township, Michigan, after a short relationship of less than a year.

They spent their honeymoon at the Hemingway family’s summer home in Lake Waloon.<<

But the weather was woefully harsh, and Richardson and Hemingway collapsed with fever, sore throat and cough.

The distress caused by this miserable weather seemed to foretell the short marriage of the two.

After their honeymoon, the couple returned to Chicago and lived in a small apartment.

Soon after, Hadley became the only heir to his uncle and was given a inheritance upon the death of his hated uncle.

The couple received an unexpected inheritance, giving them more solid financial independence.

Two months later, when Hemingway became a foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star, the couple left for Paris to live there.

He traveled to Italy in the spring and Germany in the summer of 1922. The freedom brought about by the financial stability of the legacy.

3. Hadley and Hemingway slowly moving away

Hadley went to Geneva alone in December 1922 to meet Hemingway, who was covering the Geneva peace talks.

During this trip, Hemingway lost his suitcase containing his manuscript, causing Hemingway to lose his job.

Hemingway is devastated and so angry that he argues with Hadley, and this is when the cracks begin to break between the two.

But a few months later, when Hadley found out she was pregnant, she decided to move to Toronto.

There, their son John (Bambi) was born on October 10, 1923, but Hemingway’s flat life in Toronto began to get boring.

Rather than living the normal life of a Toronto journalist, Hemingway dreamed of returning to Paris and living the life of a writer.

Eventually, at Hemingway’s desire, they returned to Paris again and moved into a new apartment in Notre Dame in January 1924.

Shortly after returning to Paris from Toronto, Canada, Hemingway meets the Piper sisters, who serve as a crucial misfortune for Hadley.

4. Meeting with Piper, the cause of the crash

Hemingway and his wife, Hadley, first visited the San Fermin Festival in Pamplona, Spain in 1923, where they were fascinated by bullfighting.

And the visit of Pamplona became an annual event.

In June 1925, Hemingway and Hadley were accompanied by a group of expatriates from the United States and the United Kingdom, including Pauline Piper, who visited Pamplona to enjoy the bullfight.

This trip to Pamplona inspired Hemingway’s first novel, <The Sun Also Rises>, which he began writing shortly after the festival and completed in September, three months later.

Their marriage begins to break down as Hemingway writes and revises this novel.

In the second year, he went to schluns on Christmas Day, but that year, he was joined by Pauline Piper. Hemingway went back to Paris with Piper, and Hadley remained in Austria with his son John.

While Hadley was in Austria, Hemingway went to New York and returned to Paris in March, when his affair with Pauline may have begun.

In the spring of 1926, Hadley learned of Hemingway’s affair, but in July of that year, he endured the presence of Pauline, who traveled with him on an annual visit to Pamplona. However, Hadley and Hemingway were already in a state of no return at this time.

Back in Paris, Hadley and Hemingway decided to separate. Then, in the fall, Hadley officially asked for a divorce, and by November, they had split up the property. Hadley then accepted Hemingway’s offer of royalty for The Sun Rises Again. In January 1927, they divorced.

Hadley was Hemingway’s first wife, supporting and caring for Hemingway until her trust and love collapsed and she divorced. Hemingway features Hadley as a motif in many of his works.

Among them, Birek, the female protagonist in Hemingway’s maiden work, The Sun Also Rises, is known to have Hadley’s motif.

5. Hadley Richardson separated from Hemingway

Hadley stayed in France until 1934, after separating from Hemingway. Among her many friends in Paris was Paul Mohrer, a foreign correspondent for the Chicago Daily News.

Hadley and Mohrer met in the spring of 1927, the year Hadley separated from Hemingway.

Journalist and political writer Mohrer won the 1929 Pulitzer Prize. In July 1933, after Mohrer’s five-year courtship, Richardson and Paul Mohrer married in London.

Hadley was particularly grateful to Mourner for his son John (Bumbi) for his warm relationship. Shortly after they got married, they returned to the United States and moved to the suburbs of Chicago.

Hadley continued to receive royalties from The Sun Rises Again, which included a film of the same title released in 1957.

In this work, a woman who is in conflict between appears, and this woman is presumed to be based on Hadley’s motif.

Just as Hadley was used as a motif in several works, it had a great influence on his relationship with Hemingway.

Her separation from her was also reflected in Hemingway’s literary work as a great shock.

After Hadley and Hemingway’s divorce, he reportedly encountered Hemingway twice. Once, he was on vacation in Wyoming and was said to have had a short and spontaneous meeting in Paris.

Hadley Richardson, Hemingway’s first wife, died on January 22, 1979 in Lakeland, Florida, at the age of 87.

And buried at Chocolois Cemetery in Tamworth, New Hampshire.

pauline Piper, who provided the reason for Hemingway and Hadley Richardson’s breakup, and her love story with Hemingway will be introduced in the next episode.
