Abstract

This article analyzes the role of nature as a reflective space of human consciousness in Ernest Hemingway's novella The Old Man and the Sea. The study demonstrates that natural elements in the narrative function not merely as a setting but as an extension of the protagonist’s inner world. The research reveals that the interaction between the individual and nature creates a philosophical framework through which human thoughts, emotions, and identity are expressed.
