The present study deals with Ernest Hemingway’s novel The Old Man and the Sea (1952). Exploring its revolutionary hints and moral values is a significant feature the present study highlights through his iceberg theory. It inquires about the cloaked reasons behind Santiago’s trip to the sea, and how Hemingway creates revolutionary hints through them. It aims to portray Santiago’s trip as a revolt against materiality and calls for persistence under pressure. It encourages people under pressure to change through revolting, dreaming, and action. The study finds that Santiago achieves his great dream by facing his resilient conditions. Consequently, he proves himself to himself, showing that man is not to be appreciated by material trophies, but by potential power. This way, he becomes an everlasting revolutionary model for all generations
