I think it was a genetic thing. I know that I write in a more creative way, once I'm a little inebriated, perhaps the combination of being a genius with inherited flaws and a pickled pain filled body, was just too much to live with. Maybe it was just his ultimate short story. Tony in remotest Isan.

Because his name was Hemingway....with a name like that, I don't think I'd want to deal with life either.....come to think of it, it probably ran in the family. Wasn't Margot Hemingway related to him, and didn't she off herself too?

A life of depression--made worse by alcoholism. When pain is all you know, and you can't see any chance of things changing, it can make you wrongly believe that life is as good as it is going to get.
It was a permanent solution to what could have been a temporary problem had he dried out and gotten help.
He was a tortured genius.

A big, macho I'm-the-greatest-writer-ever dude just can't reach out to people for help lest he show some weakness.
Besides, he'd killed a lot of other big, dumb animals. Why not?

he saw where and what the world was turning into,... He didn't like the future, that it wasn't worth living in. So he chose to check out, while he could still make the choice for himself.

With his body and mind decaying around him, and his used to being active in both mind and spirit, it had to effect his pride. For such people it's a horrifying thing. They'd rather end it than slowly watch themselves die.

After his near fatal plane accident he was in constant pain. His father committed suicide. He could not do the things he once could do. He died In Northern Idaho. The myth has outlived the man.

He was an alcoholic and probably had other mental health problems.
They didn't have any scones when he went to the shop that day and it was the last straw:)
