The Lion in the Old Man's Dream

雪呀

The image of the lion has a unique position in The Old Man and the Sea. It is divided into five parts. Although the author has not done much to highlight it, its role cannot be underestimated: it is like five pearls embedded in a chain, connecting the psychological changes of the old man; It links the context, making the structure of the novel more rigorous; It is closely connected with the plot, and like other images, it sets off the spiritual world of the elderly, which is of great significance to create a bright, vivid and full character.

The novel ends in "the old man is dreaming of a lion", which shows that the image of a lion plays an important role in the work. Compared with other images, lions do not have the tenderness and passion of the sea, the greed and ferocity of sharks, or the perseverance and patience of gunfish. But lions have their own unique self-confidence and dignity. They are from the heart, not angry and arrogant, and awe inspiring. This image enriches the spirit world of the elderly. Just as the old man goes to sea to prove himself and meet life challenges, the image of a lion is also a psychological and spiritual preparation for the old man to go to sea again. This dream of a lion and a dream of a lion have formed an organic connection.
