This novel has been attractive to many readers and critics even now. There is no doubt that many reasons may contribute to the success of the novel. But the main reason is the impressive and eternal artistic figure, Santiago, a representative of Code Hero. Hemingway created the classical image of code hero successfully. So many of researchers mainly focus on the code hero spirit of Santiago. However, there are also some optimistic and contradictory characters in Santiago. Apart from analyzing the code hero spirit of Santiago, this thesis also intends to analyze the optimism in Santiago’s personality and the contradiction of the characters of Santiago. This is the integrated image of Santiago. By analyzing these characters of Santiago, the readers can understand the image of Santiago deeply and completely. This thesis will analyze the characteristics of Santiago from the aspects as below: the Code Hero of Santiago, the Optimism in Santiago’s Personality, the Contradiction of the Characters of Santiago. The first chapter will introduce Hemingway and The Old Man and the Sea briefly. The second chapter introduces the spirit of Code Hero by analyzing the process of the old man catching Marlin and fighting with the sharks. The third chapter focuses on the optimistic characters of Santiago from Santiago’s attitude towards bird and lion. The fourth chapter discusses Santiago’s overt aggression, fishing for life and failure. This reflects the complexity of Santiago’s characters. The last part is the conclusion. This thesis advocates the unremitting and perseverant spirit from the analysis of the image of Santiago. Therefore, The Old Man and the Sea is one of the most influential and far-reaching novels of the literary treasure of the world.

Hemingway had a happy childhood. In his school time, he wrote for the school paper and literary books, and he was also considered as a good student with excellent grades. He didn’t enter university when he graduated from high school. He chose to be a reporter for The Kansas City Star. This is the beginning of his writing career.

After four years, Hemingway moved to Havana for a two month fishing expedition and began marlin fishing. This experience finally provided material for The Old Man and the Sea. Hemingway
