The Old Man and the Sea

Hemingway's values were subject first, human first, and male first. If there were meek women attached to men and women with destructive resistance in the previous works of "The Old Man and the Sea", women were completely expelled after "The Old Man and the Sea". Fortunately, the existence of life in "The Old Man and the Sea" also includes life, such as sea, fish, lions, and birds, and the scope of ethical exploration has greatly developed. And my perspective is precisely to view Hemingway's subjective priority values with bioethics.

Hemingway's dilemma lies in the fact that, on the one hand, he prioritizes personal value and the power of subjective will with subjectivity, and does not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of the natural environment and other life, and on the other hand, he is a person who loves nature and loves life. In "The Old Man and the Sea", on the one hand, the old man aims to kill the big marlin, and the resistance of the big marlin is regarded as an obstacle that the subject needs to overcome to show its own strength, on the other hand, the old man appreciates the beauty of the big marlin, at this time he regards the marlin as another subject, empathizes with its resistance, and even regards it as a brother.
