what is a quote using a metaphor from old man and the sea?

Answer 1

The title itself is a metaphor--The old man represents the human race and the sea represents nature.Santiago’s Hands: The scars on the old man's hands are mentioned in the first description of Santiago. His hands “had the deep-creased scars from handling heavy fish on the cords. But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions in a fish-less desert.” Later, during his encounter with the fish, his fishing line cuts into his right hand when the fish lurches. Santiago comments on this. “You’re feeling it now, fish.... And so, God knows, am I.” When his hand cramps, he starts to worry about the possibility of sharks and his suffering is evident. This image of his bleeding hand, in conjunction with his suffering at sea, recalls the image of the hand of Jesus Christ bloodied by the nails used to crucify him. Oddly, it is only when the boy “saw the old man's hands” that he started to cry.

Answer 2

you could say that the fish is a metaphor of his life. or for a quote, you could say that "Then he dreamed that he was in the village on his bed and there was a norther..." the norther being a storm symbolising trouble that he has had. also foreshadowing trouble that may come.
