Answer Details
Ernest Hemingway's thematic concern in The Old Man and the Sea is the ability to rise above defeat. The novella focuses on the old man's struggle to catch a giant marlin and his subsequent battle against sharks to bring back his prized catch. Despite the old man's physical exhaustion and loss of the marlin, he finds inner strength and courage to continue fighting. This theme of perseverance in the face of defeat is a recurring motif throughout Hemingway's works.
