Do you think the old man really failed？

I think he is actually a successful man. Because at his age, he is still not giving in to the reality of age, but constantly encouraging himself to overcome difficulties. Even if he didn't succeed in bringing the fish back in one piece, I still think he got the better of himself.

However, in the end, although the shark was repulsed, the marlin was also eaten to the bone. Although the marlin was eaten by sharks, the old man showed great courage,

  strong will and optimistic spirit in the process of fighting. He is a brave, strong, optimistic hero who will not be defeated by difficulties. As the original article says: “But man is not made for defeat...A man can be destroyed but not defeated.” The heroism shown in The Old Man and the Sea is highly praised by the readers and gives the readers strong spiritual strength to fight against the difficulties in life.

  In this novel, the old man who has never caught a fish is a loser in the eyes of others, but he is also a hero who never gives up hope at any time and knows that he will fail but is not afraid of failure.

  He said: "Man can be destroyed, but he cannot be defeated."

  In my opinion, from the perspective of "Catching the Marlin", the old man failed. However, if we look the old man from a broader perspective, the old man is successful. He tried his best, and actually, although he can't protect Marlin from sharks, his success in catching the Marlin with human power alone can be regarded as an achievement. And above all, he managed to break through his limitation and he's not conquered by defeat. All in all, the old man success.

  I don't think the old man is a loser. Instead he is a true winner in his fishing career, for he has hunted the biggest Marlin fish and defeated the strong enermy at the sea---two sharks. Although although he couldn't bring the intact fish home, he had already achieve his goal that to catch a big fish.

  "Man can be destroyed, but he cannot be defeated." The old man once pursued and struggled for his ideal. I think he is a winner. The old fisherman is a winner who dares to challenge his own shortcomings and his own courage and confidence.

  The old man's defeat is inevitable, he loses to his fate. With personal strength, it is impossible to fight against one's own destiny.

  What Hemingway wanted to express was this spirit of knowing that he was going to failure, to the end, to being defeated by fate, but still bravely resisting, this mentality of bitter pleasure, this tragic optimism.

  Just like the fighters in the gladiatorial arena, the moment they throw their heads and spill blood, the moment they die tragically, it is the sublimation of their previous struggle, which is more magnificent and moving due to tragedy.

  Insert two Hemingway quotes to help you understand better.

  Life is about the same as bullfighting. Either you defeat the ox, or the cow picks you to death. And even if I am picked to death, I will perform the dance of life.

  So Santiago failed, he was defeated, he was defeated, and he was especially great because of this failure.
