Review of
the Novel:
‘The Old Man
and the Sea’ first published 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 has 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. Everyday the old man back
in 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 a 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 the 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.
