Abstract

Ernest Hemingway turned to hunting, fishing, bullfighting and nature as a response to his war-psychosis. He had an excruciating experience of the First World War and made this experience his very substance. One of the effects of the First World War on the western society was that traditional values and morality lost hold on the youth. There is no philosophical security in Hemingway's world which is characterized by violence, evil and death. Hemingway believed on primitivism because early civilizations are qualitatively superior to contemporary civilization. Hemingway had an amazing ability to write sensuous accounts of nature. Hemingway is keen observer of nature. Hemingway's response to nature, animalism and primitivism was in accordance with his war-psychosis.
