Explanation and Analysis:

The Old Man and the Sea is written from a third-person omniscient point of view, although the story is centered around Santiago’s perspective. The reader is painstakingly placed in Santiago’s shoes, limited to his knowledge and viewpoint just as Santiago himself is limited to the world of his skiff.
