The old man and the sea--Hemingway's life

At the end of Hemingway's life, suffering from as many as 11 kinds of diseases caused great pain to his body and mind, leading to the exhaustion of his imagination and the loss of his creative ability, thus destroying his last pride and hope in life, deepening his loneliness and despair, and accelerating his depression and sinking. From the glory of winning the Nobel Prize for Literature to the sorrow of the end of his talent, the huge gap in reality was an unbearable low point in life for Hemingway, who had reached the highest peak of the literary world and regarded himself highly. This made him fall into extreme depression, formed an extreme mood of negative pessimism, and finally led him to extricate himself by suicide.

In addition, for Hemingway, who regarded literary creation as more important than life, the exhaustion of imagination and the loss of creative ability were no different from the destruction of the spiritual world -- perhaps the physical pain did not destroy Hemingway, but the destruction of the spiritual world killed him. Perhaps Hemingway realized that the destruction of the spiritual world made the living body lose its meaning of existence, so he chose to kill himself with a bullet -- perhaps this is Hemingway's pursuit of the "tough guy spirit"!

Hemingway finally drew an end to his lonely and great life by committing suicide, and painted a final touch of color on his public image, making the world remember that he was a man who could be destroyed but could not be defeated. Like the old fisherman in The Old Man and the Sea, Hemingway was willing to destroy himself rather than be defeated by fate. In the process of struggling, he was great, whether alone or dead.
