Sea Man Vs Man

Hemingway presents the elements of failure and suffering in The Old Man and the Sea by depicting several instances of suffering and failure which the Old Man, Santiago, has to go through throughout the course of the novel. According to Hemingway, life is just one big struggle. In the beginning of the novel itself, The Old Man, is presented as a somewhat frail old man who is still struggling with his life as well as his past failures.

This theme is a mirror for the theme of duty and responsibility that each man is nothing but his actions and his courage to carry the responsibility of the consequences.Moving on to extract the theme of paradox and denial, such theme can be seen in each character. Owing to the anger of guilt Keller begins to falsely justify his actions living in a paradoxical state of mind leading him to live in denial for years. He lives unable to decide his reality whether guilty or “didn’t kill anybody” (II. 67), whether a killer or a respected successful man (Bloom, 36). Again anger provokes another idea or attitude in the play which is abandonment and seeking for a new identity.

In the novel The Old Man and the Sea the way that nature is used is that it does not fight against the old man but it instead is used in the way that it shows man relationship with nature, by showing that even while he was out in the sea far from land he was still given nutrients to eat, like dolphin and shrimp. Santiago also loves the marlin as if he was a brother to him, in the novel the old man says that" Come on and kill me. I do not care who kills who."

The way that most people can relate to this is that people who have pets tend to treat them as either

In his knowledge that social belonging is the missing component to his own happiness, he confronts the people he secretly observed only to, once again, be met with fear and anger (94-95).

“Facing the cruel nature, the men on the small boat find solace in human solidarity-a sentiment directly in contrast to men’s feelings towards nature. They know that the only way to endure the force of nature is through their comradeship” (Haque 124). In the boat, an unspoken sense of brotherhood develops between the cook, the oiler, the correspondent, and the injured captain.
