What is the name of the protagonist in Hemingway's novel "For Whom the Bell Tolls"?

The protagonist of Ernest Hemingway's novel "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is Robert Jordan. He is an American university instructor and Spanish-language specialist who volunteers for the Republican cause during the Spanish Civil War.

Jordan's mission is to destroy a bridge behind enemy lines before a Republican offensive. The assignment makes him both a military specialist and an outsider among the Spanish guerrillas who assist him, including Anselmo, Pablo, and Pilar. His relationship with María gives the mission an emotional dimension and forces him to weigh duty against personal happiness.

The wrong options are names of other Hemingway characters. Frederic Henry is the narrator of "A Farewell to Arms," Santiago is the fisherman in "The Old Man and the Sea," and Jake Barnes narrates "The Sun Also Rises." Jordan is also distinct from the novelist's own wartime identity: Hemingway covered the Spanish Civil War as a journalist, while Robert Jordan is a fictional combatant. The novel was published in 1940 and is set during the 1936–1939 conflict.
