In the film‚ freak moves into the house next to max‚ and then there is just trouble coming up from lookism (Kevin) and relationship oppression (Max‚ as he is the son of a murderer).

Themes embodying Human Nature in the Old Man And The Sea From the very first page to the last‚ the Old Man and the Sea‚ by Earnest Hemingway embodies the full plethora of a labyrinth known as human nature.
