first published in 1952. Ernest Hemingway, the author of the World Celebrated Novel. The novel was awarded ‘Pulitzer Prize for Fiction’. Later, the author in
getting the Nobel Prize in literature the novel is discussed as seriously. The
novel has been translated into several languages.
Thus begins the
story: an old man, in the Gulf Stream fishing alone. Today, eighty-four days,
he could not catch a single fish. The first forty days a boy was with him. But
after forty days when they have no fish, the boy’s parents told him the old man
has been unlucky so extreme. Their orders, the boy have gone to another boat
and in the first week, they caught three big fish. Every day the old man back in the empty boat, to see this, the boy became upset.
When the old man
comes back, the boy helps him to bring the Fishing rope, Harpoon, and otherwise
things. The old man’s face sick, troubled. His countless wrinkles are down to
the bottom of the neck. His cheeks have Tropical Ocean’s reflection, benevolent
cancer’s brown rash. Wounded hands, the result of gather up the heavy fishing
ropes.
The main
character of the story is fighting with time, becoming endangered, upset, and
now reached in old age. But also he goes to fishing in Gulf Stream for
survival.
We see the
beginning of the story, the main character of the story, the old man is very
much alone, lonely. He is disadvantaged in the struggle of life. His
everything is older than the ancient, but his perpetually bright eyes are
exceptions from everything. Hemingway says, in both eyes exists the blue of
the sea – which is shining and invincible.
And finally, we
have concluded that there is no hesitation, Hemingway’s ‘The Old Man and the
Sea’s main theme is that: not surrender, constantly struggle is life.
