The most useful approach to use in critically analyzing The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemmingway is the approach of Santiago as a Christ Figure. The reason I choose it as the most appropriate approach is that there are several figures which have a relation to Christ in this book. For example, 3 days is the time of hardship for Santiago and also for Christ. Moreover, the description of his fighting with a big fish, his bleeding hands or his falling while carrying the mast, reminds us of Christ suffering from the passion. For these reasons, I think this approach is the most appropriate.
