The most useful approach to use in critically analyzing The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemmingway is Santiago as Christ Figure. In this book, there are many elements that are related to Christianity. For example, in a scene where the old man goes back to his house with carrying the mast and his hands injured, the figure shows the cross of Christ. Furthermore, this injured hands are similar to Christ's hands. Therefore I think Santiago is characterized as Christ.
