World Lit. Period 1

19 October 2009

Independent Reading Literary Analysis

The Old Man and the Sea is a novel written by Ernest Hemingway in 1952. The novel was published by Simon and Schuster of New York and is read by high school students from all over the world. It is considered a classic of American Literature and is an easy book to read. It can actually be called a novella because it only has 127 pages.

The novel’s literary elements are simple and easy to identify, which is typical of most of Hemingway’s literary works. The main characters in the story are the old man, named Santiago, who lives and breathes fishing and his young friend, Manolin, who takes care of the man. The conflict of the story is external because it is Man (the old man) against nature. The entire plot revolves around the old man struggling to catch a fish and bring it into land without losing it or his life. The setting of the story is a small fishing village outside of Havana, Cuba and the author tells the story using limited third person point of view. Readers know only the thoughts of the old man.

The plot of the story is very easy to follow and trace. In the exposition the reader learns that Santiago has not caught a fish for eighty-four days. He is optimistic and proud in spite of his bad luck. The boy is his only true friend in the village. The other fisherman often joke about the man’s luck and try to avoid him. Some of the events that could be considered rising action is when the man goes alone on his eighty-fifth day and he hooks a large Marlin. He struggles for three days with the fish only to lose most of it to attacking sharks in the story’s climax. In the resolution of the story the reader follows Santiago back to the village, exhausted and alone, but victorious in his battle. He is in fact alive.

Like every book, this novella has a character that makes a critical decision which affects the entire plot. The critical decision is made by Santiago when he hooked the Marlin. He had been hoping and praying for this moment for over eighty days. It is what he is born to do, but he has the opportunity to cut the fish loose any time he chooses. For three days he had to fight age, cold weather, dangerous sea creatures and fatigue, but he never gave up. For if he were to give up, it would be like giving up on life, because fishing is all he has left.

It is easy to see why this book is taught in most schools throughout the country. Although the story seems very simple, it is full of rich symbolism. It is because of the symbolism that most readers really enjoyed the book. Read at a literal level, it seems boring, but if a teacher points out the deeper meanings the books comes alive. It is also easy to visualize the small village that Santiago lives in as well as the ocean he travels because of Hemingway’s use of local color and imagery.
