The “fish”
In the story "The Old Man and the Sea", the "fish" symbolizes the enemy that all living beings must face, the hardships that everyone will encounter, and the self-transcendence that we must carry out.
Hemingway tells us that in our journey of life, each of us will encounter one or more of these "fish", and we must fight against it in order to survive. No one can escape. And he sets an example for us with the image of Santiago, the old man, who makes us believe that no matter how bad the environment, no matter how accompanied, no matter how fierce the "fish", nothing can defeat us unless we concede defeat ourselves.
The answer to the riddle of life is as difficult to exhaust as the stars and the sea. Everyone's fortune is an irreplaceable part of his life and growth, and is the most unique symbol of himself. No matter who we are, where we come from, or where we are going, we will or have come across such a "fish".
