ARW Blog Assignment 6

The most useful approach to use in critically analyzing The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemmingway is Santiago as the Archetypal Hero. Hero destines to fight and old man fight with dolphin and shark too. And I think that gereraly, people expect hero having strong and mature mind. And hero is lonely because he always concern about other people and he doesn't care about himself. In the story of OMS, the old man never give up to fight with big fish, he didn't agree with people who made fun with him and he always postpone private profit to boy's happiness. These description show Santiago's character as a hero, so I think Santiago is written as a Archety Hero.
