Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea is a classic work in the literary history of the 20th century. In the past interpretation, Hemingway is usually understood as a realist writer, but in fact, this understanding simplifies Hemingway and combines the two creative tendencies of realism and modernism in his creation. In his works, he created the tough image of Santiago, an old fisherman who "still maintains graceful human dignity under heavy pressure". More importantly, his works also practiced the "iceberg theory" insisted by Hemingway in creation from many perspectives. Among them, the use of a large number of symbolic devices and the psychological description and dream narration with stream-of-consciousness color make the works more modernist.

  "The Old Man and the Sea" reflects the life rule of "The winner survives." And in this with the nature of the original wild "law of the jungle" behind, reflected is Hemingway wanted to show the "tough spirit". The old man who had not caught fish for eighty-four days was facing the danger of starvation and no food for cooking, so he had to go out to sea to fish and fight with nature. This was not a fairy tale, but life. In his opinion, the sea is never calm, it symbolizes all kinds of fights against bad luck in the course of life. In the whole story, the sea always plays a pivotal role. It is the material environment Santiago relies on to survive, and it is also the whole content of his life. Moreover, it provided him with a place to show his courage and perseverance. Here, Hemingway realized the "tough image" of the old man.

  Hemingway said that the simple and lively art style in his work The Old Man and the Sea is the representative of "iceberg theory" and "iceberg style". What is described in the work is the part of the iceberg above the water surface, while what is left for readers to imagine and supplement is the most hidden part of the glacier under the water, which also reflects his modernist creation style.
