Question

What does the man finally do in the old man and the sea

Answer 1

In "The Old Man and the Sea," the man, Santiago, finally catches a massive marlin after battling with it for days. However, he is unable to bring it back to shore as the blood from the marlin attracts sharks, which start to devour the fish during his return journey. Despite his efforts to fight them off, Santiago loses most of the marlin to the sharks, leaving only its skeleton. However, Santiago still considers his battle with the marlin a victory and finds solace in the fact that he did not give up or lose his spirit.
