    Internal struggles of Santiago in Old man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway I agree with William Handy in his quote‚ “ In the portrayal of Santiago in the Old man and the Sea there is no uncertainty of being‚ no confusion of self and values. …rather it is concerned with the depiction of conflicting values‚”(Handy 2) The Old Man has respect toward nature to make his decisions. Santiago also respected the marlin because he has finally found his match He knows the marlin can beat him nonetheless
