    The protagonists in Ernest Hemingway's post-Spanish Civil War novels share a resoluteness that allows them to stand up against difficult, disappointing situations and attain moral victory over misfortune and death, despite finding themselves in helpless positions. These later protagonists also experience an intensified, telescoped experience of time - Robert Jordan's entire life is realized over just three days, Cantwell makes the most of the few days left with his girl, and Santiago struggles at sea for three days, learning more than in his whole life prior.

    Ernest Hemingway: The Turning Point

    The strongest point that all these three post-Spanish Civil War
    protagonists of Hemingway (Jordan, Cantwell and Santiago) share is
    their “resoluteness”. Each of them finds himself in a greatly
    disappointing and helpless situation, but with his resoluteness he
    stands up against all odds, and finally attains a moral transcendence
    over misfortune and death.
    Another aspect worth noting about these three later protagonists
    is the telescoping of time. In the case of Robert Jordan, his whole life
    is intensely realized in three days time. Cantwell avails himself of the
    few days left in his life with his girl and tries to live a complete life
    before he dies. Santiago struggles with the marlin and then with
    sharks on the sea for three days and learns what he had not learnt in
    his whole life.
