Page 50. “Perhaps I should not have been a fisherman‚ he thought. But that was the thing that I was born for.” Page 10. “Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.” I think the mere fact that a man of his age is so unyielding in his decision to continue fishing proves his own resolute determination. He is obviously encumbered by a number of physical weaknesses that come with old age‚ and yet it is this cheerful and undeafeated

The scene was one of cosy domesticity‚ a man and a woman sharing breakfast after a night out clubbing together. Married? Lovers?
