《老人与海》是海明威最为著名的一部作品,在小说中作者成功地刻画了桑提亚哥这一人物形象。海明威早年比较悲观,成为“迷惘的一代”的代表人物,但他的态度和观点在晚年改变了许多,《老人与海》中桑提亚哥的精神世界正表现了这一点。通过刻画桑提亚哥的“硬汉”形象,展现他的乐观态度和永不服输的精神,可以探索出桑提亚哥超脱的精神世界。 The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway’s most famous works, in which the author succeeded in portraying Santiago’s character. Hemingway was pessimistic in his early years and became the representative figure of the “lost generation.” However, his attitudes and opinions changed a lot in his later years. This is what the spiritual world of Santiago in Elderly and Sea is showing. By portraying San Diego’s “tough guy” image, showing his optimism and his never-ending spirit, Santiago’s detached spiritual world can be explored.
