ABSTRACT:“The magnificent and grand sight of the iceberg movement is because that it, only has one eighth on the surface of water.” This iceberg theory, which Hemingway propounded and employed in his literary works, interests many readers and critics in the world. The Old Man and the Sea was the last major work of fiction produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime, and the success of this novella catapulted Hemingway to the pinnacle of his career. It centers upon an old Cuban fisherman Santiago who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. This essay aims to explore and analyze the distinctive writing style which Hemingway adopted in writing through The Old Man and the Sea, and attempts to comprehend the implicit meaning of the seven eighths of the iceberg.
