In spite of the fact that "Hills Like White Elephants" is principally a discussion between the American man and his better half, neither of the speakers really speaks with the other, featuring the fracture between the two. Both talk, however neither tunes in or comprehends the other's perspective. Disappointed and pacifying, the American man will say nearly anything to persuade his sweetheart to have the activity, which, albeit never referenced by name, is comprehended to be a fetus removal. He reveals to her he adores her, for instance, and that everything between them will return to the manner in which it used to be. The young lady, in the interim, waffles hesitantly, at one point surrendering that she'll have the premature birth just to quiet him down.
At the point when the man despite everything perseveres, she at last implores him to "if it's not too much trouble it would be ideal if you if you don't mind if it's not too much trouble if it's not too much trouble please" quit talking, understanding the uselessness of their discussion. Truth be told, the young lady's moniker, "Dance," quietly shows that the two characters simply move around one another and the current issue while never uttering a word important. The young lady's failure to communicate in Spanish with the barkeep, besides, outlines her reliance on the American as well as the trouble she has communicating to other people.
