老人与海中的英雄主义情怀
The spirit of heroism in the Old Man and the Sea not only exists in the old man, but also in the big marlin. Through the description and appreciation of the marlin, Hemingway can guide readers to feel the heroic spirit contained in the marlin, and condense wisdom and strength. Even when caught by the old man, the big marlin did not panic like the other fish, but waged a long seesawing war with Santiago, quietly lurking in the sea waiting for the opportunity to escape. The big marlin towed the boat for three days and two nights at sea. Whenever Santiago relaxed, he would find a way to break free from the hook, showing his unique intelligence. For the wisdom of the big marlin, Santiago was also impressed by its indomitable spirit and unyielding will and praised the big marlin as strange.
As the hero himself is a hero, he inevitably feels sympathetic to the big Marlin, and even sees him as another Santiago. This narrative mode also reflects the heroic spirit in the Old Man and the Sea. Big marlin fish by virtue of their indomitable spirit, invisibly nurtured and infected with the elderly, showing its unique charm and glory. Although Santiago admires the spirit of the big Marlin, he still cannot let go of the big Marlin in order to survive, and has to kill it, which reflects the contradiction between human nature and morality in real life, and further enriches the connotation of the work.
In the face of the clamor of the sea, the old man did not choose to give in and submit, but responded with practical actions, with all his strength issued a cry for life. In the face of numerous threats to his life, the old man still walked forward without fear and fought bravely, believing that only by rushing out of the desperate situation could he truly defeat the enemy and achieve the eternal state of spirit. Even if the old man fails, his unyielding, fearless spirit of not compromising with any difficulty will survive. In the work The Old Man and the Sea, Hemingway vividly depicts a tough man who does not yield to fate. Although the old man is no longer a young man, he is an "old steed in the stable and determined". Facing the difficulties that obstruct him, he still hopes to break the dilemma and achieve success through his own practical actions. Therefore, in the work, the physical strength of ordinary old people is far less than that of young and middle-aged people, but their inner strength is far from that of ordinary young and middle-aged people. The author further sublimates the image of old Santiago into a kind of timeless tough man spirit that transcends time and space, and is a kind of brave, fearless and heroic spirit. He fully displays the value of life existence, shows the unique personality charm, and better meets the expectations of readers.
In shaping
the role, Hemingway used the unfortunate fate to add strong glory to
the hero's tough man image, so that he could better face the
dilemma, go forward bravely, and fight to the end. On the material
level, Santiago completely failed, but on the spiritual level he
succeeded, because he defeated nature, kept his dignity, won the
respect of all fishermen, and held on to himself in the heart. The
idea and concept of heroism of the fisherman Santiago is shaped and
established through his tough man image, which is presented in the
process of "going out to sea", "fishing",
"fighting sharks" and "returning to sea". No
matter what setbacks and difficulties he faces, he can "be full
of joy" and "full of fighting spirit" to maintain a
tenacious spirit.
In a way, the old fisherman seemed to be a failed fisherman, because he did not catch fish at last, and he could not use that big fish skeleton to pay for his life, to exchange for his needs. But sometimes the result is not so important. For many people, the process of many things is more memorable than the result. The old man has his own pursuit. In the process of this pursuit, the old man interprets the true meaning of life with his own courage, interprets the belief that he is born as a human being, and also interprets when the boat of fate experiences wind and rain, we should still raise the sail of faith, not discouraged, roll up our sleeves and work hard. In this tragic "The Old Man and the Sea", the old man's spirit of not being discouraged and heroic spirit of fighting to the end, like a beam of light broke through the dark clouds and lit up the boundless earth. The old man seems to be no longer an old man, but a brave man who has carried the precipitation of the years.
Romain Rolland once said:There is only one heroism in the world: to see the world as it is and to love it. A hero is a person who has the courage to face setbacks, challenge setbacks, and overcome his own. Even if he fails, his will is not destroyed, and his dreams are still upheld. The old fisherman Santiago is just such an image. He knows the injustice of the sea to him, but still not afraid of failure, not to give in to fate. Even in the end, the dream still did not come true. He can only recall in the dream of the past years. But the hero did not fall, he is still a strong life.
