Abstract
Based on the deep analysis of The Old Man and The Sea, this paper will mainly analyze and discuss Hemingway’s writing technique of symbolism. This paper will focus on the analysis of symbolism from different angles, such as religion, philosophy and so on. By analyzing the symbols in The Old Man and The Sea, such as the old man, the boy, the sea, the marlin , the sharks, the lion and so forth, the reader can see that the main characters themselves both have important symbolic meanings. In terms of christianity, the thesis analyzes the traits of the two main characters——the old man and the boy, and their respective symbolic meaning , which can help readers understand this novel and Hemingway’s writing purpose more comprehensively and profoundly.
