The main characters in Old Man and the Sea are Santiago, a fisherman and Manolin, a boy who helps him. Three adjectives that describe Santiago are lonely, patient, proud. When Santiago was fishing alone, he repeatedly said, "I wish I had a boy." This statement show his loneliness. Then, while fighting with the fish, he kept encouraging his cramped hand by talking to it again and again though he was getting so tired. This action implies his patience. Moreover, after he know how big the fish was, he thought in his mind "I wish I could show him what sort of man I am" and "let him think I am more man than I am and I will be so." These statements mean that he still believe in his ability and he has pride as a fisherman.
Two adjectives that describe Manolin are considerate and innocent. Every day Manolin and Santiago went through the same set of conversation. Although Manolin knows that is a fiction, he always do that with Santiago. This shows his consideration for the old man. Moreover, he wouldn't stop believing in the old man in stead of eighty-five days without fish. This action implies that he has innocent mind which make it able to believe in someone anytime.
