- Annotation
- Narratological approach using Hemingway s simply described natural setting to reveal how the author s foregrounding of nature creates a parallel between the ethical challengers involved in masking nature and those involved in mastering the otherness of the text through interpretation. Hollenberg focuses on Santiago s readings of the open and silent space that surrounds him, tracing the fisherman s gradual transition from an anthropocentric to a biocentric ethic.
