Hemingways Works
Ernest Hemingway pulled from his past present experiences to develop his own thoughts concerning death, relationships, and lies. He then mixed these ideas, along with a familiar setting, to create a masterpiece. One such masterpiece written early in Hemingway's career is the short story, "Indian Camp." "Indian Camp" was originally published in the collection of "in Our Time" in 1925. A brief summary reveals that the main character, a teenager by the name of Nick, travels across a lake to an Indian village. While at the village Nick observes his father, who is a doctor, deliver a baby to an Indian by caesarian section. As the story continues, Nick's father discovers that the newborn's father has committed suicide. Soon afterward Nick and his father engage in a discussion about death, which brings the story to an end. With thought and perception a reader can tell the meaning of the story. The charters of Nick and his father resemble the relationship of Hemingway and his father. Hemingway grew up in Oak Park, a middle class suburb, under the watchful eye of his parents, Ed and Grace Hemingway. Ed Hemingway was a doctor who "occasionally took his son along on professional visits across Walloon Lake to the Ojibway Indians
''Is dying hard, Daddy?''No, I think its pretty easy, Nick. My mother is an all time all American bitch and she would make a pack mule shoot himself, let alone poor bloody father. Krebs considers relationships too complicated and painful, something he has learned from a previous engagement. The reason for this variation between real life and the novel is based on how Hemingway felt at the time. With his feelings full-blown, Hemingway produced a character that suffered the way he felt she should suffer. (Hemingway 69)Krebs, along with Hemingway, fell into a slump after the war. Ill and depressed, Ed committed suicide in 1928.
