  This excerpt from The Old Man and the Sea masterfully captures Santiago’s grit amid exhaustion. Hemingway’s spare prose lays bare his physical weariness—“tireder than I have ever been”—yet his resolve never wavers. He plans strategically, resting only to outwait the marlin, and finds hope in the rising trade wind. The small, intimate details (his straw hat slipping back, sinking into the bow) ground the moment in raw realism. When he declares “a man is never lost at sea”, it’s not just confidence—it’s a testament to his connection with the ocean and unyielding spirit. Hemingway’s iceberg theory shines here: simple words hold profound courage, making Santiago’s struggle feel vivid and human.
