Question

Why is Santiago such a memorable character?

Answer 1

Answer:

Santiago is such a memorable character because he is determined to succeed despite his recent failures.

Explanation:

Santiago is a central character of one of Earnest Hemingway’s novel, ‘The old man and the sea.’ This novel depicts a story of Santiago who’s an old fisherman and who wasn’t being able to catch a fish for 84 days straight.

The reason by Santiago is such a memorable character of the story lies in his determination. Despite being so old and despite his several failures, he continues to go on for fishing. And eventually he was able to catch a big marlin fish. The fish was so big that even his boat couldn’t handle its size.

Santiago’s character depicts that if a man is determined enough to reach his goal, no force can stop him from achieving it.
