- Annotation
- Challenges the traditional psycho-symbolic interpretations of the story s landscape, instead asserting that Nick s desire for the perfect fishing spot represents his longing to understand life s significance within the context of nature. Theorizes that landscape is used to point out the limits of inherently anthropomorphic language, as Nick physically, not linguistically, situates himself in his natural environment. Suggests that Hemingway s prose is a movement toward Nietzsche s new language, highlighting the complex aesthetical relation between subject and object.
