Introduction
The old man and the sea is a story of man's capacity with Pride , tenacity and hardship of the time and circumstances that also represents intense professionalism indeed. the overall idea of the old man and the sea is wandering around through the santiago's adventure and with the Marlin and shark. Here Ernest Hemingway depicts the fullest human capacity in physical,menta, spiritual and professional endurance of suffering through in this novel.
After so long 84 successive days without winning any fish in the huge ocean. Eventually the giant fish takes the bait, but old man is enable to reel it in. The Shark was very huge and old man is not capable to reel it this is the way the old man and the fish mat with the struggle and then Marlin's tale is with full of blood and then it attacks back to him. Santiago fights and arrives home toting only the Marlins skeletal carcass. The other village fisherman's give credit him for his courageous work and respect their formerly ridiculous speed.
Santiago is man with professionalism. He has to prove it that everyday is a new day Santiago suffering is a kind of artistic creation which is not at all an easy task. The novella keeps a great impression on the modern people and we can see that this work has a intense professionalism.
First of all let's see what is professionalism: professionalism is a level of excellence of competence that is expected of a professional.
Webster's dictionary defines it as " The conduct aims are qualities that characterize aur maar ka profession aur are professional person. ( Merriam-Webster.com)
In further there are important keys to be as true and passionate professional one: attitude, character, excellence, competency, conduct.
All five characteristics says that doing what is right and learning how to scheme the professional icon.
The professional protagonist.
The old Cuban fisherman- the old man and the sea it is it title of the novel and Santiago is a skilled fisherman from kurban who has and extended run of bad luck. Ok despite of his professionalism unfortunately he has been unable to catch a fish for so long 84 days. But he is more modest but exposes a defensible pride in his abilities. The major concern as being a professional protagonist is that he never lose hope regardless of circumstances this is what is professional sense. So throughout his life has been presented with contests to the test of his working strength and serenity.
Code Hero of the Novella:
Our protagonist Santiago is maybe the finest and best known for his code heroism as per the point of view of Ernest Hemingway. The very function of code hero is certainly to balance with heroic deficiencies, and responsibility to correct the heroes stance. Apart from his age he made a record to exemplifies certain principles of courage honour respect and fortunate. Which makes a man a man in the life of tension and pain. So far we enable him to conduct himself well in a losing battle that is life. What makes Santiago the most professional man is that the etiquettes of his behaviour which is very perfect and honorable with great courage while losing the shark and the giant fish he has caught.
So this is what a message from his personality as code Hero which always brings one must lose of course what account is that how one can behaves while they are demolished completely.
Positivism
we can see that santiago's character is always being in a positive mood which is very necessary for his profession also, well it can be said that positivism is the precondition of the success. The battle of old man with the giant fish is require a certain amount of positivism strength and mental stability. he is willingly progressive withstands hunger physical paint and isolation from the rest of the world while he he doing battle with the Marlin.
Along with all qualities never under estimates izone rival and never gives concession as we find in the line,
" But , thank God, (the fish) are not as intelligent as we kill them; although they are more noble and more able" (Hemingway, 2003,p.43)
Isolation
Of course it was a centre of the ocean where the old man and the morning was all alone the old man has become isolated from the world with humans. His isolation perhaps highlights the unique nature of his character for instancebhe is undergoes from solitude. He was all alone to fight with the Marlin so he must be positive to prove himself and his capability and fortunately his positivity becomes the luck of his own attempt he says in novel that, " everyday is a new day. it is better to be lucky but I would rather be exact. Then when love comes you are ready. (Hemingway 2003,p.19)
Self belief
Everyone has its lack of course but everyone can have will power skill diligent and courage to prove it. Our protagonist Santiago knows this very well therefore believes in his ability rather than chance as he says in the novel that,
" To hell with luck" he thinks. " I will bring the luck with me" ( Hemingway 2003, p.91)
Human and nature relationship
Now once again hemingways work exposes and intense deep relationship of human and natural world. Santiago has a great affiliation and understanding of the natural world. You always used to talk about these as through it was a woman. The birds are becomes his friends in his loneliness in life. Interestingly we considered the Shark as a personal rivals.
His battle is nothing else but test with the connection between turtle and jellyfish between fish and birds. With connection of natural and personal life is always being with it.
Great regards for profession: centre is a fisherman not only fisherman but a very passionate professional fishermen pillows his job and dedicated towards his job. He never disregards his profession weather in the dark unsafe and dangerous condition while doing his job he always remembers his birth for fishing as he always says,
"Perhaps I should not have been a fisherman, he thought. But that was the thing that I was born for" (Hemingway 2003, p.33)
Fortitude
Santiago has a great power of endurance never get frustrated at doing his job. The old man and the sea the ability of Santiago to with stand somatic pain is something which is outlining individualities. suffering and struggling is the major step of his battle with the fish, it is formally adds intensity e2 struggle and fortitude. The psychological agony of losing the giant fish is is startingly minimised. This is a certain kind of pain it seems and absolute self control, power of passion and patience,
_" fish, he said softly, aloud, "I'll stay with you until I am died" (Hemingway 2003 page 35)
After that intensity find the place “fish," he said " I love you and respect you very much, but I will kill you dad before this day ends" (Hemingway 2003 Page 36)
At the end of the novel becomes a christ symbol of the novel. Just like Christ, he will filled with patience goodness success and self effacement.
Sanguinity
During this full journey and battle never things to back return without being succeed. He is always think in optimistic way to get the fruit of his industry , for his hard work. In the dream sequence of Santiago we find that he dreams of a white benches in the darkest night with the Marlin that proves his sanguinity. Defined very strong optimistic thought from the line,
"My big fish must be somewhere" (Hemingway 2003 page 21)
Firmness
During the battle of Santiago and Marlin the sun goes down and San Diego wanders himself and he thinks that what he will do if they come in the night? But if formula determines to fight them and confidently says
" I'will fight them until I die" (Hemingway 2003 page 84)
Stimulations
Inspirations and incentives can be driven force to bring success in professional life. In this novella partially handicapped baseball player DiMaggio who is Vikram the source of encouragement and strength for Santiago. Always figures in the dreams of old man. DiMaggio inspires him with leading leadership qualities and determination to win the battle in spite of being handicaps. Old man and left hand cramps and he feels drained out his strength he reminds himself of the painful born that handicaps the great DiMaggio.
Damage of baseball Hero playing in pain gives the centre go renewed vigor and stamina to bear his own pains during battle and after battle. Inspiration from DiMaggio through this line in the novel,
“Hay feet in the Yankees my son. Think of the great DiMaggio" (Hemingway 2003 page 7)
Memory please a vital role whenever you are alone or isolated especially when you are in a some trouble so memory is another inspiring theme in the novel old man and the sea just because of his old age our Hero recalls the strength of his youth. wheat first wonder search essential IBN faded from his character over time in a game but are left with suspicious that Santiago has abilities to lived up to heroic image what we see what is portrayed in his memory of the as younger self.
The old man's memory with the lions is a constant motive it compares his own abilities to their power and Pride. So so bar promise of this contest in the novel closes is supported by the final image of the lions because physically sent who is associate with the lions in her youth dream sequence of the lions is the kind of nature life and he images the lions playing in his dream and suggest the harmony between the opposing forces of life and death love and head destruction as regeration of nature.
Major finding
at the crime mix of the novella it was probably the fourth day of killing of the Marlin. The end of the mullins life is the most vital moment for Santiago and for us also because the fishes seems to surpass his own death because the fish invests Santiago with a new life. supporter cooler notion of transcendence is so important for it resounds within the centre go story of battle like the fish the old man suffers a lot something of a death on his way back to the village. He mainly exposed the twist and given his age will likely never have the opportunity to land such magnificent fish again, whatever she gets The skeleton or the full fish, the remaining part of fish is represent the whole success of the old man because the skeleton itself is the huge one.
This incident specially exposes the intense professionalism attitude in old man because a professional expert never wants to go back with empty hand what ever they got they just bring with them. Finally protagonist the old man returns to the village with his strength of mind and his status of rejuvenated.
Santiago always carefully tips aloof humse from boastfulness. But absolutely he is a politically proud on on his deed, describe becomes the source of greatness and determination of professionalism through santiago's character, if is a pride is a problem if killing the fish for Pride makes the act a sin.
Conclusion
