Abstract: The Old Man and the Sea, praised by a famous writer as “the most excellent simple article in this generation”, is a masterpiece of the unyielding man—Hemingway. But with regard to the symbolism, it has been talked differently, and was equivocal in the explanation by Hemingway himself. The Protagonist, the living environment, the sea, the Shark, the Marlin are not themselves but have significant symbolical meaning. Here the author will analyze its symbolism thoroughly through some aspects such as the leading character，the living environment and Hemingway’s philosophy of life reflected by the symbols, with a view to help the reader get a better understanding of Ernest Hemingways asterpiece． Key Words: Ernest Hemingway; the symbolic factors; iceberg theory; the living environment； philosophy of life?Introduction…………………………………………………………………………………………1 Introduction to the Background……………………………………………………………………1 1.The Symbolism in the Works……………………………………………………………………3 Major Symbols in The Old Man and the Sea厖厖厖厖厖厖厖厖厖厖? s in The OlThe Old Man— the Best Expression to “the unyielding character”厖厖厖厖厖厖厖厖厖3 — the BesThe Boy— the Best S
