William Handy makes a believable statement in his quote‚ “In the portrayal of Santiago in the Old man and the Sea …. Concerning the depiction of conflicting values‚” while on the other hand‚ it is difficult to agree that “in every situation‚ Santiago responds as a spiritually fulfilled man.”(Handy 2) Santiago was not spiritually grounded as seen in statements he voiced about recited prayers while fishing.
