This article highlights that Ernest Hemingway's main character, Nick Adams, acquires an epiphany of natural healing by returning to his childhood fishing terrains. Hemingway specifies the terrifying reality of World War I through Nick Adams’ having a psychological disturbance from the war by reflecting nature’s profound healing source in “Big Two-Hearted River.” Following his return, Nick Adams overcomes the battle disturbances psychologically by diving into the natural fishing area. When he visits his previous fishing environment, he revives himself from terrible war memories. His escape into nature implies that he, thereby, is the lover of nature. Through the acquisition of natural healing in his childhood fishing areas, Hemingway, concurrently, manifests James Joyce’s epiphany in his target short story. Nick Adams becomes relaxed while possessing a peaceful mind in natural living. Therefore, this article, being interested in Nick Adams’ thinking and diving into his previous living areas, focuses on how he has a maturity within himself in nature
