Annotation
Archetypal approach, first examining the novella’s contrasts and distortions and then tracing comparisons between characters, situations, space, and time. Relates Santiago’s struggle to the larger physical and spiritual struggle for survival of all humanity. Sees the underlying message of the story to be one of hope, love, and faith.
