  At that time, the United States was under the strong impact of McCarthyism, all the symbols of civilization and progress were destroyed and framed, and the atmosphere of fear enveloped the entire American society and the American people. Hemingway's novel was precisely to express his dissatisfaction with the darkness and the courage to resist it.

  In fact, Hemingway's description of these dissatisfaction in his novels also expresses his own spiritual experience and dissatisfaction with the real world at that time in a considerable sense.

  ​The sea is a symbol of Hemingway's living conditions.

  The sea plays a key role in The Old Man and the Sea, because the sea is the main source of Santiago's life, the main place of Santiago's work, and the place where Santiago shows his courage and strength. The sea, an invaluable source of wealth, is alternately kind and cruel to those who seek it. The most grievous part of the novel against Santiago happens to be the same brutal grievance against the sea.
