The most useful approach to use in critically analyzing The Old Man and The Sea by Ernest Hemingway is Santiago as a Christ Figure.
There are a lot of points that very similar to the situations of Jesus Christ. OMS connects to the story of Christ. I raise some examples. Santiago's injury of hands were as that Christ's hands was hitted nails. Santiago ate the row fish, this is related with that Christ taught us to eat it as my body. I think that the purpose of injuries of Santiago was as similar as Christ one. Santiago had been extremely injered to feed many people, and Jesus Christ had been awfully injered and died for all of people were allowed. Like this, the relations were clealy shown. Hemingway wrote this intentional, so "Santiago as a Christ Figure" is a most useful approach to use in critically analyzing.
