Abstract
The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway’s most famous works. It is not only a profound tragedy, but also a moving paean to heroism. Santiago is the typical representative of the author’s “Code Hero,” embodying not only the extraordinary courage, composure and grace under pressure, and self-control of Hemingway esque protagonists, but also shows a frame of mind characterized by serenity and breadth of vision.
Although the protagonist Santiago has a weathered appearance, thin and gaunt. But in his spirit, he is dauntless. He is a continuation and distillation of a series of “butch” characters created by Hemingway in his works. Hemingway not only describes Santiago’s strong will, but spends many words on his inner world, focusing on his sincere friendship and his yearning for the beautiful things in the world, which forms the most exciting part of the novel. The old man is it a philosophical incarnation of such "butch" characters, displaying a noble spiritual power that overwhelms fate. Hemingway describes him as a human being full of dignity and strength, as a summary of his lifelong exploration of life and society.
The objective of this thesis is to analyze the character of the old man. By tracing a series of conflicts in the story, it reveals the true nature of the protagonist—bravery, self-confidence, dignity and never-yielding will. It will also touch upon what Santiago lacks—gender equality and a willingness to engage in cooperation.
