The most useful to use in critically analyzing The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemmingway is Santiago as a Christ Figure.
According to the lecture of Paul Wadden, Ph.D, the first forty days with Manoline is like Christ was in the desert before his crucifixion, the three days fight against the big fish is like the Christ crucifixion.
There are many phrases connote that Santiago is a Christian, and Hemmingway himself was a Christian.
So, we can consider Santiago as Christ figure.
