Dear reader,
In this essay, I discuss the
criticism of Ernest Hemingway’s the Old
Man and the Sea. I refute the claim that Hemingway’s novella is inferior to
his previous works because of its romanticizing and divergence from reality. My
original attempt was a summary of Hemingway’s life and his criticism throughout
his life. I am very happy with the final product. I think doing a moment in a
novel and a Lit. Crit. essay was definitely a step in the right direction and
it formed my paper quite a bit. My “Golden Thread” is an emphasis on history and
past. I chose a moment where Santiago thinks about the past that relates to his
present. I chose this because Santiago’s journey to catch the giant marlin is
also a battle to solidify his stature in history as a master fisherman as well
as the Old Man and the Sea itself is
also Hemingway’s battle to solidify his title as a great writer and author in
literary history.
