A Bridge of Ideas
Your engagement with 'Animal Farm' and 'The Old Man and the Sea' reveals a profound, albeit perhaps unarticulated, fascination with human resilience in the face of overwhelming systems and inherent futility. Though from disparate literary realms, both narratives, through their stark simplicity and allegorical weight, underscore a shared CREATOR philosophy of unyielding, often solitary, struggle against forces far larger than the individual – be it the manipulative machinations of political power or the indifferent vastness of the ocean.
