- Annotation
- By comparing Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea with Søren Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling, this essay hopes to shift readers' attention from Santiago's marlin to his protégé, Manolin. Focusing on their friendship reminds us that the emotional weight of Hemingway's story and the proof of Santiago's growth and strength—here, synonymous with his trial as a successful "knight of faith"—are best seen not in connection to the fish he loses, but to the boy he gains.
