This paper analyzes Ernest Hemingway's novel "The Old Man and the Sea" from an anti-reading perspective. It summarizes the key plot points of the novel, which follows an old fisherman's struggle to catch a giant marlin and his battle with sharks. The paper then challenges the traditional interpretation that the story represents a hopeful message about the connection between struggle and success.

The conclusion is that while struggle may be a part of routine life, it does not necessarily guarantee success.

A boy who periodically appears gives the men hope by providing descriptions of Godot, reflecting how religious messengers bring updates about God. In conclusion, waiting is seen as an endless part of human life from both a philosophical and spiritual perspective.
