Psychosocially Therapeutic Aspects of The Old Man and the Sea by Heming

Psychosocially Therapeutic Aspects of The gaga human being and the Sea by HemingwayThis exceptional legend should be employ as a therapeutic aid for hopeless and depressed muckle who needed a powerful force for continuing struggles of life against fate. They should imagine as the boy Manolin, Ill bring the luck by myself. In the storey the old man tells us It is silly not to hope...besides I conceptualise it is a sin. Hemingway draws a distinction between two different types of succeeder outer-material and inner- inspiritual. While the old man lacks the former, the importance of this lack is eclipsed by his stubbornness of the later. He teaches all people the triumph of indefatigable spirit everywhere exhaustible resources. Hemingways hero as a perfectionist man tells us To be a man is to behave with honor and dignity, not to succumb to suffering, to expect ones duties without complaint, and most importantly to have maximum self-control. At the end of the story he mentio ns, A man is not made for defeat...a man heap be destroyed still not defeated. The book finishes with this symbolic metre The old man was dreaming about lions. It is a psychological digest of Hemingway famous story that we have used it as a psychotherapeutic aid for hopeless and depressed people and also psychological victims of fight in a more comprehensive therapeutic plan.The first doom 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 84 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 qualify 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 Santiagos betoken for the cracking catch that will save his career. Santiago endures a great struggle with a uncommonly large and noble marlin only to stick out the fish to rapacious sharks on his way back to land. Despite this loss, Santiago ends the novel with his spirit unbowed. Some have said that Santiago represents Hemingway himself, meddlesome for his next great book, an Everyman, heroic in the face of human tragedy, or the Oedipal male unconscious trying to slay his fat... ...session of the later. One way to portray Santiagos story is as a triumph of indefatigable spirit over exhaustible material resources. As noted above, the characteristics of such 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. Triumph over suppress hardship is the heart of heroism, and in order for Santiago the fisherman to be a heroic emblem for humankind, his tribulations must be monumental. Triumph, though, is never final. Hemingway flock 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 base of manhood. What we achieve or fail at externally is not as significant to heroism as the comporting ourselves with inner nobility. As Santiago says, Man is not made for defeat....A man can be destroyed but not defeated . Works CitedHemingway, Ernest (1952). The Old Man and the Sea. New York Charles Scribners Sons.
