The old man's attitude towards nature in "The Old Man and the Sea"
Hemingway's Santiago not only has strong willpower and firm faith, but also loves nature and is optimistic.
Santiago will talk to the birds staying at the sea when going fishing, and keep company with the birds, and feel sorry for killing the big fish. In order to make a living, he has to do this. He is obviously a contradictory person, but in such a contradiction, he will make the best choice to minimize the loss of nature, he plundered nature only to meet the needs of survival. Why kill big fish? because the fish meat for big fish is enough for him to have no worries about food and clothing this winter, and he doesn't need to hunt other fish this winter. He is extremely friendly to nature. He regarded his opponent Marlin as his brother and even wanted to feed it by hand. He sympathized with the little petrel flying on the sea. He called the flag fish, flying fish and Lin Yuan are his friends. He is also lucky not to kill stars, moon and sun. so Hemingway's Santiago is full of awe for the natural environment, and he loves this environment.
