How does "Hills Like White Elephants" reflect a dissatisfaction with modernity?

Consider
the fact that nothing is really resolved in the story.  There is little satisfaction in the
ending of the story.  The American might be satisfied, but is not really reflecting anything
like this. Jig is not entirely satisfied with the outcome of the discussion, and the reader is
far from satisfied with the trajectory of this relationship.  In this, Hemingway has been able
to develop an emotional sensibility into a philosophical one.  The dissatisfaction he is able to
evoke is one in which there is a fundamental dissatisfaction with Modernity.  The modern
predicament is one in which one finds futility with the advent of freedom. There is no
institutional structure that prevents the American and Jig from finding freedom and happiness.
 Yet, they are dissatisfied with their being in the world.  It is here where Hemingway is able
construct a narrative where there is dissatisfaction with modernity.  In doing so, Hemingway is
able to integrate the affairs of the heart into a larger philosophical tract.  Modernism is
something that either is absorbed by the individual or a social condition that reflects the
individual.  Dissatisfaction becomes the only absolute that results from the conversation
between Jig and the American and defines their being in the world.
