Symbolism and irony in hemingway's novels

Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea was the sense of awe that it created in its author and its readers. There has always been a certain mystery about Hemingway's effects in his best writing. Hemingway has used the symbolism of association to convey by implication his essential form the time of his earliest American publication. Hemingway has used techniques of symbolism and techniques of irony and used them well. Hemingway, in fact, stirs thought as to the interrelationship of these two kinds of ambiguity. It is remarkable how often they operate together in his stories: an ironic fact, perception, or even on the primary level may epitomize an irony in a broader context, and thus doubly deserve selection and accurate report by the narrator. Taken at face value the denomination “symbolist” has meanings in the common language of criticism that are quite inapplicable to him. But beyond this, Hemingway uses symbolism.
