Title: A Strange Tale About A Man & A Fish
Review: This is a strange monologue about an old man & a fish. The old man Santiago is down on his luck, having endured 85 days, without a catch. He believed that his luck will turn and continued going to sea. Indeed, his luck turned put for the better and he caught a huge Marlin, which he battles with care and respect. Finally after 3 days of struggle, he lands the Marlin with a sense of profound victory.However, on the journey back to the port, the dead Marlin was attacked and devoured by several schools of sharks, leaving a skeleton of the magnificent fish. The old man went to bed tired but without much despair.So what was the moral of the story? Your luck will turn out better if you are patient, but regardless of your attempt, you cannot avoid fate.Did I read that Hemmingway won a Nobel Literature prize on the strength of this novel? In my opinion, it was undeserving. But it was a good attempt.
Is the review positive or negative?
