Answer 1

Explanation:

The old man finally resigns to his fate. The story revolves around the Spanish civil war. The man is resigned to his fate because he is old and tired.  

The war has rendered him homeless and hapless and has wiped out everything. He is sitting by the Ebro river, having lost everything including his zest for life. All his goals and aspirations have come to naught and he is just waiting for his impending death.  

The old man’s fate is symbolic of the lives of so many ordinary people who have suffered during the war. He is in despair as he has not taken care of his animals. The time being an Easter Sunday symbolizes rebirth and change.
