Since its publication in 1924,Hemingway’s“Indian Camp”has drawn a great deal of attention and has been subjected to a wide variety of interpretations.The design of the character Uncle George has aroused as much doubt and perplexity as curiosity and enthusiasm for interpretation,on account of the fact that Hemingway,renowned for his iceberg theory and simple style should involve such a seeming superfluous character in an initiation story of his nephew on whom his influence is barely noticeable.Since 1960s,Uncle George has always been considered to be the father of the newborn baby the Indian woman has delivered and has been claimed to be responsible for the suicide of the Indian husband.Then,is the story simply a conventional love triangle?Or there exists some misunderstanding in this interpretation?If so,it’s of great necessity and importance to defend for Uncle George and put the record straight.
