In the novel The Sun Also Rises, the charm of Hemingway's narration lies in his expertise in controlling both the skills of dialogue and stream-of-consciousness under the principle of the iceberg theory within the canvas of the la-conic narrative. The narrative's readiness and slowness is either accelerated by the speedy and rhythmic dialogue or slowed down by the lingering of the stream of consciousness. They contribute together to a perfection of form.
