초록
영어
The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate the meaning of Santiago’s dream and self-fulfillment. A dream enables a man to project himself towards his purpose of life. In order to realize this dream, Ernest Miller Hemingway (1899-1961), one of “Lost Generation” writers, tried to pursue ‘American Dream’ for the faith of life. The concrete value that he searched for was intensity. Hemingway’s life of such a value is reflected in his conclusive work, The Old Man and the Sea (1952). There he instructs us to strive for the accomplishment of our dream by ourselves. Santiago’s dream and the process of realizing it is also being dealt with. Santiago’s dream is always to fish a nice fish. So he alone goes too far to the sea to escape from his salao of no fish state for 84 days. He wanted to perform his sense of destiny as a fisherman by and for himself. In this sense he had to fish a big fish and take it home proudly. At sea he caught the biggest marlin by good fortune that he had never seen in his lifetime. He fought against the strong fish desperately with all his endurance, strength, and courage to make it his possession. After the bloody competition with the marlin for three and a half days, he succeeded in fishing the marlin at last. By this he could recover his downgraded pride. But, ironically, much blood bled at the body of the marlin caused a host of sharks to take the marlin by surprise repeatedly. The big fish which means dream itself made Santiago’s life meaningful and glorious. So his dream is the concept that includes the eternal self-fulfillment and process of human life, transcending time and space, life and death.
