This essay is an attempt to analyze and explicate The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway from the viewpoint that the text represents the author's insight into man, particularly man when he is fighting. It discusses the ingenuity of the novelette's structure, the correspondences between the old man and the fish, the shifts in the old man's psychology, and nature's revenge against man's trespasses.
