There is a new element at the end—his beating heart, which he has reawakened through his relationships with Maria and with the guerrilla fighters. Maria’s bitter talk and warm longing for love, Pilar’s memories of once violence, these memories and psychological expressed character’s history screen of their own life, but they were not express the history screen independent, the center was “present”, closed with realistic. Hemingway used life screen of every character, through psychological space expressed realistic space, put the characters together, formed the pattern “three point on the line to one point”. It is worth mentioning that Hemingway did great effort on the character who had decisive significance, Robert Jordan was the most important character in the novel, in the development process of whole novel, he usually had section by section interior monologue and memories, through these put Robert Jordan and other character together, the pattern “three point on the line to one point” was more clearer and understand. Hemingway used the this kind of pattern take the plot of novel into key relationships and secondary relationships. Key relationships was Robert Jordan destroyed the iron bridge and expand some contradiction around this. Hemingway once said, “it’s very solemn that iceberg moving in the sea, because of iceberg only one-eighth on the surface of the sea…”, this is Iceberg Principle. Although on the top of the pen only one-eighth, but readers can feel the power behind the one-eighth. It can call out reader’s imagination to open up hidden seven-eighth. Hemingway used the pattern “three point on the line to one point” carry on compare, for example, direct person and villain person, Robert Jordan and Pablo, in process of plot development they expressed the relationship that clear compare, showed two different moral values. This compare make the pattern “three point on the line to one point” more clear, direct person was the three point(one line), villain person was the one point. In limit space, Pablo was created vividly. We can see from above analysis, For Whom the Bell Tolls is different with Hemingway’s other early works, this kind of change not only show on ideology, but also art style, the special is break that on the narrative structure.Hemingway put his important point on the description of the protagonist Robert Jordan and Anselmo, Pilar, Maria and Pablo in For Whom the Bell Tolls. This four person with Robert Jordan became very close relationship. Maria was Robert Jordan’s lover, she was his number one, she and he shore one same body, this expressed Robert Jordan’s deep love and look forward to the beautiful life; Anselmo was the represent of standards of humanity, also expressed Robert Jordan’s love of human; Pilar was a honest witch, expressed Robert Jordan’s destiny and spirit of fight; they are the three point on the line;
