I Hate My Mother and She Hates Herself

Ernest Hemmingway was devastated when he learned that his father had killed himself in 1928. The writer held his mother responsible for the death of his father who committed suicide with a civil war revolver on December 6th, 1928. His deep and long-standing rage toward his mother may have shaped his conceptualization of his father's suicide so that his father's death became his mother's fault. Ernest called his mother Fwiedy like sweetie man at the age of two while Grace referred to her son as Dutch Dolly despite their differing sizes she even attempted to pass him off as the twin of his older sister by calling him summer girl.
