- Annotation
- Reading the novella as a satire of anthropocentrism, Thiele points to Santiago's mental and physical weaknesses along with his questionable empathy, selective sympathy, and mindless betrayal, destruction, and waste of sea creatures to prove the old fisherman's alienation from himself and the natural world. Calls on readers to finish the journey that Santiago could not by accepting responsibility for the well-being of the environment.
