In approaching writers, we study them in two ways. One criterion is their themes and the other one is their techniques. This is also applicable to Hemingway. To understand Hemingway’s literature, we must analyze his works with an intensive investigation into main characters. An analysis of main characters cannot be made separately and Hemingway’s literature must be understood as a whole. In his works, Hemingway’s characters mainly consist of heroes, not heroines. He expresses his feelings and thougts through heroes. Thus, this essay analyzes heroes only. Hemingway’s Nick Adams awakes to the realities of life and social environment by going through violence, death, evil and pain. In many different works, the young Nick Adams opens his eyes to see violence and hardships. As he grows into a young man, he begins to confront those evils and difficulties. Jake Barns in The Sun Also Rises and Frederick Henry in A Farewell to Arms are not only very important characters, but they also share unmistakable similarities with Hemingway. Hemingway believed that through True at First Light, he came to a most important turning point in his literature. In Africa, Hemingway stated that things turned out naked in the morning and they turned out hidden in the afternoon. Nick Adams was strong and loved trout fishing. Santiago loved to fish in the ocean for marlin. This is a symbolic relationship between Nick Adams and Santiago. In Nick Adams’ times, his name had often changed and this shows us his various experiences in life. Nick Adams enriches his experience, sees life differently and develops into the undefeated Santiago.
