"Without God, Without Creed": The Paradox of Unbelief in Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage and Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises

Abstract: 

Both Crane and Hemingway reject a religious framework as they come to terms with human suffering. However, their texts betray the tension of relinquishing this particular framework. This tension ultimately reveals the limitations of a purely naturalistic understanding of human suffering.
