Old Man And The Sea The Old Man and The Sea Paper In the Pulitzer Prize winning book, The Old Man and The Sea, Ernest Hemingway does a beautiful job of tying in Christ imagery with an average man with an average life. This classic novel represents Jesus Christ and the bible in three different ways. Through faith and translations, and in physical ways that Santiago and Christ are very alike. Jesus Christ and Santiago had very similar beliefs about things and kept faith in what they believed. Both had something to teach with very few followers. People banned themselves from Christ’s teachings just as Manolin’s parents banned him from Santiago’s. “But after forty days without a fish the boys parents had told him that the old man was definitely and finally salao, which is the worst form of unlucky, and the boy had gone at their orders in another boat which caught three good fish the first week.” (9) The few people that did follow Jesus Christ and Santiago were often stopped because their ideas and beliefs were different from what people were accustomed to.
