The Short, Happy Life of Francis Macomber Who is the antagonist in The Short, Happy Life of Francis Macomber by Ernest Hemingway? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 12:53 Last updated by Cat on 17 Jul 02:58
The antagonist is really up to interpretation. Is it Margaret Macomber who kills her husband by "accident"? Is it Wilson who is sleeping with Margaret? Francis himself is paranoid and impulsive. Hemmingway is seldom straight forward.
