Similarly, Spielberg’s Jaws follows 3 men’s battle with a great white shark. In the end, they too accomplish their goal of beating nature. Overall, The Old Man and the Sea and Jaws show…

Although he is very old, he still has strength. He is so commited to catching a big fish to prove his worth to society, but by doing so, in his mind he has ruined both the great marlin and himself.
