For Whom the Bell Tolls What is the theme in For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 12:15 Last updated by Jill W on 30 Sep 16:01
One major theme in the novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls, is the value of human life.... the destruction of innocent lives as a result of war, and the taking of life in battle as a source of guilt or necessity.
