    Answer: He wanted to represent his lack of luck as a writer, using the character Santiago as a portrayal.

    Explanation: Hemingway had a great reputation, but he was in a streak of bad luck creating a good story. Therefore, he writes a similar story for the character Santiago. After going 84 days without catching any fish, he is encouraged by his young apprentice to go further and break his unfortunate streak. Santiago is a man who remained cheerful besides being mocked by people, and hurt when catching the big Marlin.

    The author wrote this as a metaphor to remain strong amongst his struggles in life.
