Introduction
"The Old Man and the Sea," written by Ernest Hemingway and published in 1952, is a
novella that offers a deep insight into human struggle, perseverance, and resilience. The
story is enriched by various extrinsic elements that reflect Hemingway's life, the historical
context, and the cultural background of the setting. This paper explores these elements to
provide a deeper understanding of how they shape the narrative and its themes.
Conclusion
"The Old Man and the Sea" is greatly enriched by extrinsic elements such as Hemingway's
personal experiences, the post-World War II context, and Cuban culture. These elements
shape the story's setting and characters, highlighting values like courage, perseverance,
honor, and wisdom. The Christian symbolism in Santiago's journey further deepens the
themes of suffering and redemption. Understanding these influences helps us appreciate
Hemingway's storytelling and the novel's profound insights into the human spirit.
