- Annotation
- Compares the common sea symbol found in the three novels, examining how each protagonist must face differing existential challenges set against the limitless and inscrutable backdrop of the sea. Concludes that the sea in Hemingway s novella becomes the operative alternative reality on which man can impose order, exercise his will, and attain selfhood through his exertion and strenuous work.
