Brief Explanations

These questions refer to Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea.

  1. For question 13: The tourists at the end of the book see the skeleton of the marlin but have no idea of the immense struggle Santiago endured to catch it, symbolizing the broader world's ignorance of his personal battle.
  2. For question 14: Santiago's tragic flaw is his pride (or excessive hubris). While his pride drives his determination and respect for his craft, it also leads him to stay out at sea longer than he should, pushing himself beyond his physical limits and leading to the loss of the marlin to sharks.

  1. the rest of the world that is unaware of Santiago's struggle
  2. pride
