<br/><br/> Résumé,<br/><br/>This work examines the elements of naturalism in Ernest Hemingway'The Old Man the Sea. The work further analyses how nature influences man's life, with a particular stress on the hostility of nature to man. This work is based on the hypothesis that life is a continuing struggle against nature. Santiago has spent eighty-four days without catching a fish and he tries to prove that he is still able to catch it. Therefore, he spends three days struggling to pull and kill a huge marlin. It is in this light that Literary Darwinism approach is of use.<br/><br/>The work concludes that man struggles for survival but that he cannot conquer nature; the latter prevails in this struggle. However, he can fight for victory which belongs to culture.<br/><br/>
