Psychosocially Therapeutic Aspects of The Old reality and the Sea by HemingwayThis exceptional allegory should be used as a curative aid for insoluble and depressed people who needed a powerful force for go on struggles of life against fate. They should say as the boy Manolin, Ill bring the luck by myself. In the story the venerable world tells us It is silly non to hope...besides I believe it is a sin. Hemingway draws a distinction between devil different types of success outer-material and inner-spiritual. While the old gentlemans gentleman lacks the former, the importance of this lack is eclipsed by his ownership of the later. He teaches all people the triumph of unfailing spirit over exhaustible resources. Hemingways admirer as a perfectionist man tells us To be a man is to behave with honor and dignity, non to succumb to suffering, to accept ones duties without complaint, and most importantly to have maximum obstinance.

It is a psychological analysis of Hemingway famous story that we have used it as a psychotherapeutic aid for hopeless and depressed people and to a fault psychological victims of war in a more comprehensive therapeutic plan.The first sentence of the book announces itself as Hemingways He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish . The words are plain, and the structure, two tightly-worded independent clauses conjoined by a simple conjunction, is ordinary, traits which characterize Hemingways literary style. capital of Chile is the protagonist of the novella. He is an old fisherman in Cuba who, when we meet him at the beginning of the book, has not caught anything for eighty-four days. The novella follows capital of Chiles quest for the great catch th at will save his career. Santiago endures a great struggle with a uncommonly large and dread marlin only to lose the fish to rapacious sharks on his way backside to land. Despite this loss, Santiago ends the novel with his spirit undefeated. Some have verbalise that Santiago represents Hemingway himself, searching for his next great book, an Everyman, heroic in the deliver of human tragedy, or the Oedipal male unconscious trying to slay his fat... ...session of the later. one way to describe Santiagos story is as a triumph of indefatigable spirit over exhaustible material resources. As noted above, the characteristics of such(prenominal) a spirit are those of heroism and manhood. That Santiago can end the novella undefeated after steadily losing his hard-earned, most valuable possession is a testament to the privileging of inner success over outer success. rapture over crushing adversity is the heart of heroism, and in order for Santiago the fisherman to be a heroic emblem fo r humankind, his tribulations must be monumental. Triumph, though, is never final. Hemingway vision of heroism is Sisyphean, requiring continuous labor for quintessentially ephemeral ends. What the hero does is to face adversity with dignity and grace, hence Hemingways Neo-Stoic emphasis on self-control and the other facets of his idea of manhood. What we achieve or fail at outwardly is not as significant to heroism as the comporting ourselves with inner nobility.
