- Annotation
- Lacanian approach aiming to define the iceberg beneath the surface of The Old Man and the Sea. Stoltzfus focuses on three areas: Hemingway s conscious text; the reader s construction of meaning; and Hemingway s unconscious. Contends that Santiago (and Hemingway) wishes to supplant the law of the father, emphasizing meekness, humility, and self-abnegation, with more elemental virtues stressing pride, honor, and killing.
