Nick and his younger sister Littless in The Last Good Country are seen as indications of Hemingway in his early days. The plot of The Last Good Country was surely based on events in his life. Nick and Littless, worried by the pursuit of the two hateful game wardens and a sly boy, take the precaution of bringing a gun to defend themselves, and to hunt with. As they escape into the virgin forest, however, Nick and Littless become aware of the natural abundance around them. When they see the woods and Nick says, ¡°That's why they build cathedrals to be like this¡±. It is natural, indeed, that the remaining part of an unfinished novel, written by a writer who had been well known to his readers and critics both as an adorer of nature and an analyst of love, could be viewed as a continued attempt to embody an Edenic ideal of nature, as well as an exemplar of his consistent repetition of precise description of nature.
