The Lion in the Dream
聚缘
First of all, the lion symbolizes the old man's pursuit of strength and yearning for the strong. In the process of catching the marlin, Santiago remembered and dreamed of the lion twice. The appearance of the lion is not only a great encouragement to the old man who is driving alone in the vast sea, but also a gas station for the old man's spiritual strength. It is also a reminder to the readers that the old man is showing his indomitable will, perseverance and courage to overcome difficulties like a lion at this time. Finally, the old man dreamed again that the lion symbolized the old man's self-return, which also showed that his determination to fight for life and ideals would not change.

He loves challenges as much as he loves the boy. The boy here represents the new strength
