Ernest Hemingway. The Old Man and the Sea
The plot of the Old man and the sea summary is of Cuba, Havana. It is the story of an epic struggle between an old, seasoned fisherman Santiago and his life’s greatest catch of fish. Santiago is an aged Cuban fisherman. For eighty-four days, he has set out to sea but every time returned empty-handed. So his fisherman society treats him unlucky. Also, his young, devoted apprentice and friend, Manolin, was forced by his parents to leave the old man in order to fish in a more prosperous boat.
At last on the third day, the fish tires, and Santiago who becomes deprived and nearly delirious, manages to pull the marlin in close enough to kill it with a harpoon thrust. After the death of Marlin, Santiago lashes it to his boat and sets the boat for home. Santiago is excited by the price that the marlin will bring at the market, and even he is more concerned about the people who will eat the fish are unworthy of its greatness.
As Santiago sails, Marlin’s blood leaves a trail in the water and eventually attracts sharks. At first, great mako shark attacks, which he manages to slay with the harpoon. In this struggle, he loses the harpoon and lengths of valuable rope. The old man fights as best as he can. Although he kills many sharks as appears. By the time night falls, and continuous fight of Santiago against the scavengers becomes useless. They almost ate the complete meat of Marlin and leaving only skeleton, head, and tail. Finally, Santiago arrives home before daybreak, stumbles back to his shack, and sleeps very deeply.
The next morning, a crowd of amazed fishermen gathers around the big skeleton of the fish. Even tourists come and see it, without knowing the old man’s struggle. Then Manolin comes who was worried about the old man’s absence. He feels satisfied after seeing the old man safe in his bed. Then he fetches the old man some coffee and the daily papers about the scores of baseball. When the old man wakes, the two agree to fish as partners once again. The old man returns to his sleep and dreams about lions at play on the beaches of Africa as usual.
