He is named ‘Santiago' has hone eighty-four days without catching a fish. Santiago is considered Salao, the worst for of unlucky.

On the third day of ordeal, the fish’ begins to circle the skiff, indicating his tiredness to the old man. Santiago uses all the strength he has left in him to pull the fish’ on to it’s side and stab the marlin with his harpoon, ending the long battle between him a d the fish. Santiago straps the marlin to the side of his skiff and then heads home, thinking about the high price the fish’ will bring him at the market and how many people he will feed.

First is a great mako shark, that Santiago kills with his harpoon and then loses the harpoon in the process. Santiago makes a new harpoon by strapping his knife to the end of an our to help killing the next line of sharks that are slain and many others are driven away. The sharks keep coming , and by night the sharks have almost eaten all the marlin, leaving a skeleton only.

Upon he return to sleep, Santiago dreams of his youth- of lions on an African beach.
• Theme:-
Pride:-
Pride is often defined as a negative attribute that causes people to reach for too much and as a result, suffer a terrible full. Santiago knows that he killed the marlin for pride and wonders of pride makes the act a sin, but Santiago's pride is his main motivation that pushes as sea,. And his pride is of a particular, limited sort. Santiago takes pride in being exactly what he is a man and a fisherman, nothing more.
The Honour in Struggle Defeat and Death:-
From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has hone eighty-four days without catch6 a fish – he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles , “ The flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish’ promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty- seven days after a brutal three day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from steadying his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.
Isolation:-
The old man is a character isolated from people and in fact from the world of humans entirely in his time on the sea. This isolation defined who he is and emphasizes the unique nature of his character. Isolation becomes both a weakness ( he suffers from loneliness), but also a necessary element to his battle with the fish. Although the old man accepts and admits help from others it is alone he dose battle with the marlin, that he must prove himself and his capabilities.
Perseverance:-
The old man's battle with the fish’ is not only battle of strength, but a battle of wills. The old man makes up for his old man age with incredible endurance, willing to withstand hunger, physical pain, and isolation from the rest of the world as he battles the old man and the fish’ he fights, as they share a determination that, in it’s magnitude, separates them from other people and creatures.
Friendship:-
The friendship between Santiago and mandolin plays a critical part in Santiago’s victory over the marlin. Santiago refuses to. Accept defeat because he knows Manolin would be disappointed in him. Yet most of the Nobel takes place when Santiago is alone. Except for manolin's frien8 in the evening, Santiago is characterized by his isolation, but he refuses to give in to loneliness. Santiago finds friends in other creatures, like the fish’ birds and the sea.
The man and The Natural world:-
The old man is unique in his relationship to and understanding of the natural world. He talks about the sea as though it were woman, the birds as friends, the sharks as personal enemies. He examines the relationship between turtles and jellyfish, between fish’ and birds. The creatures and the natural world become a lens through whish we examines the old man: they become parables and analogies that allow is to gain insight in to his character. The old man justifies and interprets his actions and the actions of others as things that they “ Are born to do” we see a sense of inescapabilty in these ideas.
Respect and Reputation:-
Although he does not recognized himself, what makes the stakes of the battle with the marlin so high is the notion of respect from others with displayed of strength and prowess. Santiago himself feels great see and respect for the marline, repeatedly emphasizing this during his. Struggle and after he has killed the fish. Additionally, the old man's friendships are based on mutual respect.
Hunger:-
The old man is almost superhuman in his eating patterns. He is never professes hunger, despite eating very little or not at all. For him, eating is not about pleasure, but is instead a painful act that he must endure for strength. The old man dose at one point refer to hunger as pain but in terms of the fish’s hunger, not his own.
Suffering:-
In the old man and the sea, the ability to withstand physical pain is one of Santiago’s defining characteristics. Suffering is a necessary step in his battle with the fish.
Luck:- Santiago’s is unlucky.

The Old Man and the Sea is perhaps the most famous novel by Ernest Hemingway, who himself is considered one of the greatest American writers. His other works include For Whom the Bell The Old Man and the Sea is perhaps the most famous novel by Ernest Hemingway, who himself is considered one of the greatest American writers.

• Theme:-
Pride:-
Pride is often defined as a negative attribute that causes people to reach for too much and as a result, suffer a terrible full. Santiago knows that he killed the marlin for pride and wonders of pride makes the act a sin, but Santiago's pride is his main motivation that pushes as sea,. And his pride is of a particular, limited sort. Santiago takes pride in being exactly what he is a man and a fisherman, nothing more.
The Honour in Struggle Defeat and Death:-
From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has hone eighty-four days without catch6 a fish – he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles , “ The flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish’ promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty- seven days after a brutal three day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from steadying his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.
Isolation:-
The old man is a character isolated from people and in fact from the world of humans entirely in his time on the sea. This isolation defined who he is and emphasizes the unique nature of his character. Isolation becomes both a weakness ( he suffers from loneliness), but also a necessary element to his battle with the fish. Although the old man accepts and admits help from others it is alone he dose battle with the marlin, that he must prove himself and his capabilities.
Perseverance:-
The old man's battle with the fish’ is not only battle of strength, but a battle of wills. The old man makes up for his old man age with incredible endurance, willing to withstand hunger, physical pain, and isolation from the rest of the world as he battles the old man and the fish’ he fights, as they share a determination that, in it’s magnitude, separates them from other people and creatures.
Friendship:-
The friendship between Santiago and mandolin plays a critical part in Santiago’s victory over the marlin. Santiago refuses to. Accept defeat because he knows Manolin would be disappointed in him. Yet most of the Nobel takes place when Santiago is alone. Except for manolin's frien8 in the evening, Santiago is characterized by his isolation, but he refuses to give in to loneliness. Santiago finds friends in other creatures, like the fish’ birds and the sea.
The man and The Natural world:-
The old man is unique in his relationship to and understanding of the natural world. He talks about the sea as though it were woman, the birds as friends, the sharks as personal enemies. He examines the relationship between turtles and jellyfish, between fish’ and birds. The creatures and the natural world become a lens through whish we examines the old man: they become parables and analogies that allow is to gain insight in to his character. The old man justifies and interprets his actions and the actions of others as things that they “ Are born to do” we see a sense of inescapabilty in these ideas.
Respect and Reputation:-
Although he does not recognized himself, what makes the stakes of the battle with the marlin so high is the notion of respect from others with displayed of strength and prowess. Santiago himself feels great see and respect for the marline, repeatedly emphasizing this during his. Struggle and after he has killed the fish. Additionally, the old man's friendships are based on mutual respect.
Hunger:-
The old man is almost superhuman in his eating patterns. He is never professes hunger, despite eating very little or not at all. For him, eating is not about pleasure, but is instead a painful act that he must endure for strength. The old man dose at one point refer to hunger as pain but in terms of the fish’s hunger, not his own.
Suffering:-
In the old man and the sea, the ability to withstand physical pain is one of Santiago’s defining characteristics. Suffering is a necessary step in his battle with the fish.
Luck:- Santiago’s is unlucky.

• Plot:-
The old man and the sea is the story of a battle between an old experienced Cuben fishermen and a large marlin. The Nobel opens with the explanation that the fisherman. He is named ‘Santiago' has hone eighty-four days without catching a fish. Santiago is considered Salao, the worst for of unlucky. In fact, he is so unlucky that his young friend, ' Marlin' has been forbidden by his parents to sail with the old man and been ordered to fish with more successful fisherman. The boy visits Santiago’s shack each night, hauling back his fishing gear, getting h food and discussing American Baseball especially his player Di Maggio. Santiago tells mandolin that on. The next day, he will sail far out into the gulf to fish, confident that his unlucky streak is near it’s end. This, Santiago sets out alone taking his skiff far on to the gulf. He sets his lines and by noon of the first day, a big fish that surely is a marlin his bait.
Santiago is unable to pull in the great marlin, Santiago instead finds the fish pulling his skiff. Two days and nights pass in this manner, during which the old man bears the tension of the line with his body. Though he is wounded by the struggle and in pain, Santiago expresses compass ionatt appreciation for his adversary often referring to him as a brother. The old man determines that because of the fish' s great dignity, no one will be worthy of eating the marlin. On the third day of ordeal, the fish’ begins to circle the skiff, indicating his tiredness to the old man. Santiago uses all the strength he has left in him to pull the fish’ on to it’s side and stab the marlin with his harpoon, ending the long battle between him a d the fish. Santiago straps the marlin to the side of his skiff and then heads home, thinking about the high price the fish’ will bring him at the market and how many people he will feed.
• While Santiago continues his journey back to the shore, sharks are attracted to the trail of blood left by the marlin in the water. The. First is a great mako shark, that Santiago kills with his harpoon and then loses the harpoon in the process. Santiago makes a new harpoon by strapping his knife to the end of an our to help killing the next line of sharks that are slain and many others are driven away. The sharks keep coming , and by night the sharks have almost eaten all the marlin, leaving a skeleton only. Finally, teaching shore before dawn on the next day , carrying the heavy mast on his shoulder . Once home, he slumps into his bed and falls into a deep sleep. Manolin worried during the old man is endeavour, cries upon finding h safe asleep. The boy brings him newspaper and coffee. When. The old man wakes, they promise to fish’ together once again. Upon he return to sleep, Santiago dreams of his youth- of lions on an African beach.
• Theme:-
Pride:-
Pride is often defined as a negative attribute that causes people to reach for too much and as a result, suffer a terrible full. Santiago knows that he killed the marlin for pride and wonders of pride makes the act a sin, but Santiago's pride is his main motivation that pushes as sea,. And his pride is of a particular, limited sort. Santiago takes pride in being exactly what he is a man and a fisherman, nothing more.
The Honour in Struggle Defeat and Death:-
From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has hone eighty-four days without catch6 a fish – he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles , “ The flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish’ promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty- seven days after a brutal three day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from steadying his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.
Isolation:-
The old man is a character isolated from people and in fact from the world of humans entirely in his time on the sea. This isolation defined who he is and emphasizes the unique nature of his character. Isolation becomes both a weakness ( he suffers from loneliness), but also a necessary element to his battle with the fish. Although the old man accepts and admits help from others it is alone he dose battle with the marlin, that he must prove himself and his capabilities.
Perseverance:-
The old man's battle with the fish’ is not only battle of strength, but a battle of wills. The old man makes up for his old man age with incredible endurance, willing to withstand hunger, physical pain, and isolation from the rest of the world as he battles the old man and the fish’ he fights, as they share a determination that, in it’s magnitude, separates them from other people and creatures.
Friendship:-
The friendship between Santiago and mandolin plays a critical part in Santiago’s victory over the marlin. Santiago refuses to. Accept defeat because he knows Manolin would be disappointed in him. Yet most of the Nobel takes place when Santiago is alone. Except for manolin's frien8 in the evening, Santiago is characterized by his isolation, but he refuses to give in to loneliness. Santiago finds friends in other creatures, like the fish’ birds and the sea.
The man and The Natural world:-
The old man is unique in his relationship to and understanding of the natural world. He talks about the sea as though it were woman, the birds as friends, the sharks as personal enemies. He examines the relationship between turtles and jellyfish, between fish’ and birds. The creatures and the natural world become a lens through whish we examines the old man: they become parables and analogies that allow is to gain insight in to his character. The old man justifies and interprets his actions and the actions of others as things that they “ Are born to do” we see a sense of inescapabilty in these ideas.
Respect and Reputation:-
Although he does not recognized himself, what makes the stakes of the battle with the marlin so high is the notion of respect from others with displayed of strength and prowess. Santiago himself feels great see and respect for the marline, repeatedly emphasizing this during his. Struggle and after he has killed the fish. Additionally, the old man's friendships are based on mutual respect.
Hunger:-
The old man is almost superhuman in his eating patterns. He is never professes hunger, despite eating very little or not at all. For him, eating is not about pleasure, but is instead a painful act that he must endure for strength. The old man dose at one point refer to hunger as pain but in terms of the fish’s hunger, not his own.
Suffering:-
In the old man and the sea, the ability to withstand physical pain is one of Santiago’s defining characteristics. Suffering is a necessary step in his battle with the fish.
Luck:- Santiago’s is unlucky.
