There is at least one other point of view from which part of the story is told. That is the point of view of the lion. Hemingway devotes an entire long paragraph to describing what the lion sees and feels, and this paragraph is a marvelous example of Hemingway's genius. The paragraph begins with:
Thirty-five yards into the grass the big lion lay flattened out along the ground.
The fact that this is indeed the lion's point of view is clear in these sentences:
All of him, pain, sickness, hatred and all of his remaining strength was tightening into an absolute concentration for a rush. He could hear the men talking and he waited, gathering all of himself into this preparation for a charge as soon as the men would come into the grass.
This is a far different style of writing than the tight, objective style of stories like "Hills Like White Elephants" and "The Killers." It shows a different, more poetic side of Hemingway and makes the intelligent reader realize that there is much more to this great writer than just a tough guy with a hard-boiled attitude.
