mother who was seen as selfish and overbearing by Hemingway. ... Just like in Hemingway’s life, they fell in love, but instead of her

his childhood, teenage, and wartime years. ...
In the novel the main character is named Santiago, who is an elderly man but

represented Hemingway’s strong will, in that he survived three marriages and World
War I along with several other wars. ...
Hemingway was also a drinker, quite a heavy one at that. ... Santiago was relatively poor; he lived in a small shack on the shore with hardly
anything to eat or much money, which is how Hemingway felt, even though he was
quite wealthy for his time. Hemingway was known for his drunken quarrels, he was very
skilled in fist fighting. ... Hemingway was conquered by his own
elements. ... Crucifixion is the
