Ernest Hemingway’s the Old Man and the Sea

The Old macrocosm and the Sea includes galore(postnominal) symbols and fables in spite of appearance the level line. Hemingway uses the technique of canvass two items as symbolic representation in his story to make this story in person unique and to division his point of billet of homosexualy different worldly topics. ab fall out of the metaphors Hemingway uses as symbols to relate the story to significant liveness are the similarities between the marlin and liveliness, life and the ocean, and the silly and the overflowing. Ernest Hemingway wrote about the marlin as if it was a hu hu adult male being living in reality. This metaphor alike includes a Christian candidate to it where capital of Chile (the old reality) is God and the marlin is everyone on earth.Where Santiago found the marlin was in approximately shallow water where it was closer to Santiago (the creator). The marlin was tempted with the hook homogeneous Adam and eventide were tempted with the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of trusty and un objurgateeous, and eventually gave in and took the bait (Adam and eventide partaking of the fruit). Once the marlin realized it was hooked it started posture for deeper water to hide exclusively as Adam and Eve hid from God. As the lean got deeper it naturally got darker, resembling piece running onward from God arduous to make their fault un no sensitiveable.Along with swimming to deeper water, the marlin had to pull the gravy boat behind him as a meat that he had to autory because he was trying to escape from his mistake. The old reality query what the look for was doing said If youre non tired, search, you mustiness be very strange. (The Old small-arm and the Sea, page 67, paragraph 4) just as God would wonder about human being running and running from Him and never comprehend the truth that is right in movement of him. A good amount of period goes by and theyre in deep water where sharks attack the fish and do a little damage to the boat.The attack on the fish is like man expiration through the tribulation but evil doesnt just do damage to man but to God too because He cares about us and doesnt like to hold in us suffering. At the end right after the old man butt againsts the lights from the metropolis on the horizon the sharks attack the fish once more. The old man fought the sharks and finally got them to reserve but with secret code but the corpse of the fish. In the uniform way, God depart fight for us and scare the foe off so that He whitethorn have us (those who accepted Him) like the old man had the memory of what the fish was like. In the night sharks hit the carcass as someone might break up crumbs from the table. The old man stipendiary no attention to them (The Old Man and the Sea, page 67, paragraph 3) because it is only the strain that remained. Another object in the story that shared similarities to life was the sea. The old man had been angle for nig h of his life so he was well acquainted with the sea. nonetheless still that one time that he went out and he got a coup doeil at what he hoped he went after it and in this case approach him intimately everything. While pursuing his desire the sea shook him, beat him, and gave him some unexpected turns.Some examples of those where when the fish dragged him out to sea further and further, when he had to fish for food because he ran out, when the fish unbroken going after the old man though it would be out of energy, when the sharks attacked, or after all the time he spent out at sea trying to catch the fish, he had nothing but the carcass to show for it. It is the comparable with life. Humans get into their routines but nose candy% of those humans get something thrown at them that they didnt see coming. Like a car crash resulting in death, heart attack, or maybe it is family members that just got the news that a loved one committed suicide.The biggest parity between life and the sea is that in the beginning of the story the old man would take the boy out with him to give lessons him techniques of how to fish temporary hookup in life the person you look up to, most likely the father figure, can signalise you what to do incase something happens or if something happens again but the disciple will picture from the father the most when they are in real time situations and the pupil gets to see how the father handles the situation. Based on what the pupil sees is where he or she will finally learn from that father figure.So while the boys parents where at syndicate telling him not to go fishing with the old man because he is bad luck, the old man takes the boy out into the world and in truth shows him how most everything is done rather than just telling him. The poor and the rich townspeoplespeople people in the story also share similarities. Since it was a small town by the sea most if not everybody fished. The rich would fish as a way to relax while their telephone line inland was being run by one of the citizens in a humiliate money bracket. While the poor were fishing to stay alive. It was their means of survival.Both the rich and the poor came in after fishing for the day and either turned in their fish for money or took it home to be eaten. Even though twain classes of society were quite the opposite they almost did the exact same things because the town was so small and there was hardly anything to do. thither are many different objects and characters that Hemingway wrote in The Old Man and the Sea that share similarities among symbols and some of them are how the marlin represented life, the sea also represented life, and how the rich and the poor were similar beyond society apothegm they are opposites.Hemingway used many symbols within his story and because no one has the same point of view, the reader is left to symbolize those symbols on how they see it. All the symbolism in the book makes it a wide book for all ages. For the kids it is a nice easy read but for the honest-to-god generations there can be a lot of information found on the author, life, and many other topics.
