What is the theme of the Old man and the sea?

怠慢月色

Friendship

Another prominent theme, friendship, between human beings and amongst the wider non-human animal world spans the length of the novella. The most important human relationship is that between santingo and his young pupil and fellow fisherman, Manolin. The boy cares deeply for Santiago, often berating himself for not doing more to take care of him. They share a passion for baseball, something that helps sustain Santiago while he’s at sea.

  The book "The Old Man and the Sea" shows a struggling outlook on life through the description of the protagonist Sandiago's tenacious struggle with sharks. Even if facing the unconquerable nature, people can still win in spirit. Maybe the result is failure, but in the process of struggle, we can see how a person can become a strong man.

  I think it's not afraid to fail. The book reflects a rebellion against fate.

  I think the theme is persistence. In the article, we can find that the old man fought against the big fish alone in the sea. Although the old man only brought back the skeleton of the fish in the end, he never gave up and was hurt.
