Abstract
The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway explores how man fits into a violent and destructive universe. Hemingway seems to be implying in this narrative that, at least in the natural order, man might discover his own beauty and dignity by discovering the mystery of human power that lies at the core of so much that seems harsh and violent. This paper addresses the subject of courage; yet, the novelist appears to have placed a great deal of faith in conceptions or ideals, and courage devalues in the story. Hemingway appears to have just given up on society’s illness and every sociological, philosophical, and spiritual attempt to heal it. In the universe of The Old Man and the Sea, both humans and animals must act bravely in order to survive. Without courage, there can be no love, kindness, charity, or justice in this harsh world. Hemingway exhibits a kind of dignity in the exercise of the body of both man and fish that is only possible when two beings become brothers via an endurance test that tests every ounce of power and ability they possess.
