rnest Hemingway is regarded as one of the greatest American writers in the 20th century. This paper aims to interpret Hemingway’s ecofeminism by analyzing his short stories Cat in the Rain and Hills Like White Elephants. In these two short stories, Hemingway’s ecofeminism is reflected mainly in three aspects: the relationship between man and nature, the relationship between man and woman, and the resonance between woman and nature. It is clear that Hemingway’s Ecofeminism is interwoven closely with the social and economic condition of America, the awakening of female consciousness, Hemingway’s family education as well as his own experiences. The interpretation of Hemingway’s ecofeminism inspires us today to deconstruct the patriarchal worldview.
