This research will begin with the statement that “To Build a Fire” by Jack London (1876–1916) is one of the most celebrated short stories in American literature. The present research has identified that London’s adeptness in the portrayal of the major character in the short story contributed appreciably to its grand success and the characteristics of the man who ultimately submits to death have opened impressive discussions in the literary circles. Thus, an enthralling topic of debates has been the surprising behavior of the man in suddenly submitting to death towards the close of the story. In fact, he had chosen to fight against his ordeal until the final paragraph and from the point of view of the only other character, “never in the dog’s experience had it known a man to sit like that in the snow and make no fire.” Some of the explanations for his anomalous surrender to death connect with the man’s thoughtless behavior and suicidal tendencies. However, considering the elements of naturalist movement and Man vs. Nature conflict in the story, the principal characteristic of the protagonist is his fight against nature all through the life and his ultimate submission to the greater power of nature which was most comfortable and satisfying to him. This paper illustrates that the story has been properly recognized as the finest illustration of naturalist movement and Man vs. Nature conflict.&nbsp.
