INTRODUCTION
Ernest Hemingway, born in Oak Park, Illinois in 1899 and passing in 1961, began his writing career at the age of seventeen in a Kansas City newspaper office. He volunteered for an ambulance unit in the Italian army during World War I, where he was injured, honored by the Italian Government, and spent time in hospitals. Upon returning to the US, he worked as a reporter for Canadian and American newspapers, covering events such as the Greek Revolution in Europe.
In the 1920s, Hemingway joined a group of expatriate Americans in Paris, depicted in his first significant work, "The Sun Also Rises" (1926). Another successful work was "A Farewell to Arms" (1929), which explored an American

ambulance officer's disillusionment and desertion during the war. Drawing from his experience as a war correspondent in Spain, Hemingway wrote his ambitious novel, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (1940). Among his later works, "The Old Man and the Sea" (1952), tells the story of an elderly fisherman's struggle at sea, depicting his perseverance and ultimate victory in defeat.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Ernest Hemingway's works have been studied and analyzed by a wide range of literary critics, scholars, and academics. Critics from various backgrounds and fields, including literature, history, psychology, and sociology, have delved into the themes, writing style, characters, and influence of Hemingway's writings. Additionally, Hemingway's works have been a significant focus of literary analysis and academic research in universities and educational institutions worldwide. Xie (2008) supposed that Hemingway left out the necessary detail from a storyline that may contribute to enhancing it. He compared the structure of his hypothesis to that of an iceberg, where just one-eighth was visible above the water's surface while the other seven-eighths were submerged. In Hemingway's stories, the iceberg's hidden portion represents implication. It subtly mixes the sensibility and critical faculties of literature and allows readers to delve into the underlying meaning through the works' arresting imagery.

Santiago embodies traits of bravery, unwavering determination, and a profound reverence for nature. Engaging in a daunting struggle with a 1500-pound fish aboard a small boat in the vast ocean exemplifies Santiago's heroism and resolute spirit.
