4. "Ernest Hemingway, a literary icon renowned for his succinct prose and powerful storytelling, introduced the 'Iceberg Theory.' This approach emphasizes minimalism, where the majority of the narrative's depth lies beneath the surface. As we explore Hemingway's technique, we uncover layers of meaning and emotion, enriching our understanding of literature's hidden complexities." (“ChatGPT”) Introduction

6. “Iceberg Theory” Iceberg Theory Known as “Theory Of Omission” “ Ernest Hemingway's "iceberg" theory is his strategy of fiction writing in which most of the story is hidden, much like an iceberg underneath the ocean. The largest percentage of an iceberg is underwater (not visible) and is subsequently the strongest part of the iceberg. In the same way, the strongest part of a Hemingway story is what is hidden from the reader and if applicable, revealed later.” (“Hemingway's "iceberg" theory”)

7. “Iceberg Theory” Poe Unofficially founded iceberg theory earlier. “Unity of Effect” influenced hemingway literary work should contribute to the overall emotional or aesthetic impact intended by the author. (Ammary)

8. So in both Ernest Hemingway's "iceberg" theory and Edgar Allan Poe's concept of "unity of effect" underscore the importance of strategic omission and cohesive storytelling in literature. By hiding the bulk of the narrative beneath the surface or ensuring every element contributes to the intended emotional impact, these theories challenge readers to engage actively with the text and appreciate the power of subtlety in storytelling.
