Hemingway’s View of Nature in The Old Man and the Sea

Abstract

This passage is mainly about the cause and duplicity of the view of nature of Hemingway. Under the influence of the personal unique experience and the dual opposite view of western culture and Christian, he loves nature and pays attention to the nature destroyed, which is the view of nature of non-anthropocentrism; besides, he also loves to get pleasant through killing animals, which is the view of anthropocentrism to conquer nature. However, Hemingway’s father, his religion and his experience had an influence on his view of nature, all of which make us get a better understanding of his view of nature in his works.
