The Old Man and the Sea: The Parallel Between Santiago and Jesus Christ

For a remarkable writer, there is never a simple key, but in the case of Hemingway there is something that looks like a key ... it can not escape knowledgeable thoughtful readers. Attention (O'Conner 153). Ernest Hemingway is one such author, but rarely summarizes sentences, so the only way to solve the problem is to isolate it and examine each component. Hidden elements are similarities between Santiago and Jesus.

And Jesus Christ. Ernest Hemingway made a connection between Santiago and Jesus Christ in the novel "Old Man and the Sea" and added a religious color to the story. Santiago can compare with images of Christians based on relationships with other characters in the novel. Like the followers of Christ, people look to San Diego, thereby establishing a comparison between them. (Transition) From the age of 5, Manorin helped the old man by working with him as an apprentice

Santiago is the hero of the famous "old man and the sea" of Hemingway and is often symbolized as a Christian figure in the literary analysis of this novel. Santiago is a poor fisherman and Jesus is a fisherman of a man. When they suffer in doubt, they claim their beliefs. In addition, San Diego often refers to Jesus' poetry of sin. Clearly, Santiago is meant to symbolize many of the teachings of Christ. A clear comparison between Santiago and Christ means to waste hands. On the second day, San Diego's left hand spasm was terrible and could not be used. He succeeded in maintaining his fishing line with the other hand, but his frustration made him express the sense of sin when Christ preached on the mountain. Santiago said:

The role of Ernest Hemingway, an old man from Santiago of the "old man and the sea" is like Christ. Because the little boy works like a faithful disciple, and the hand wounds are like the wounds of Christ. Take his mast to the top of the mountain in much the same way that Christ took his cross to his cross to his cross? There are many believers in Zion Christ, there is only one in Santiago, but still San Diego resembles Christ? Because of how focused his followers, it is true. After the old man returned from his trip, this boy? Let him fall asleep

A comparison between Santiago and Jesus Christ is over me, as to how some people write that there is no old man. Carlos Baker continued, "Do you intentionally put these symbols in the story? Do you know exactly? Hemingway himself said in an interrogation: there is no symbolic meaning, the sea is the sea. The old man is an old man.This boy is a boy, fish is a fish shark is a shark, there is neither good nor bad, all the symbolic meanings people say are sh * t and you know more than you I personally do not think that Hemingway will use these images to convey meaning.Santiago, Christ, or Christ, he just uses images familiar to all readers, the fight of the elderly, the distress , Feeling sacrifice, and helping to share the victory when he returned to life experience.
