Hemmingway's recurrent use of specific images rewards the reader with a deeper comprehension of the layers of meaning. For example, in The Garden of Eden, imagery involving eggs, from the eating of eggs to the evocations of Humpty Dumpty, should be thoroughly analyzed, as should be the fish imagery, from the important processional fishing scene early in the novel through all later mentions of fish and the eating of fish.
