The most useful approach to use in critically analyzing The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway is Santiago as the Archetypal Hero. According to the NP lecture, he has a mental willpower. Though he sometimes loses his confidence, he never gives up, he is never defeated and encourages himself to catch the big fish whenever he is in a difficult situation. Also the description that he fights with the big fish and sharks is interesting and implies a hero. I think it is the representative of the hero because he has the power to accomplish his mission. There is no reason why he persists to catch a big fish but this is his mission.
