Although the old fisherman was old, he was unlucky and failed. But he still keeps working hard, and he can win by failure. This novel shows a struggling outlook on life. Even in the face of unconquerable nature, people can still win spiritually. Maybe the result is failure, but in the process of struggle, we can see how a person can become an indomitable spirit.
Thoughts to be expressed by the author in The Old Man and the Sea. Through the image of Santiago, the author enthusiastically praised the indestructible spiritual strength of human beings in the face of difficulties and hardships. The child is ready to go out to sea with the old man again. He must learn all the "skills" of the old man, which symbolizes that the "invincible" spirit of mankind will be passed down from generation to generation. Santiago is the symbol of the perfect man that Hemingway admired: strong, generous, kind and full of love. Even if he fails in the arena of life, he is still a spiritual strong man and a "tough guy" in the face of irreversible fate. "Tough guy" is a common theme in Hemingway's works and a common figure in his works. They are still strong and unyielding in the face of great external pressure and bad luck, and even die. Although they failed, they maintained human dignity and courage and had the demeanor of winners. I haven't been educated about love, but you can say it here.
