Answer 1

Answer:

The Spanish civil war firms the background to the story and Hemingway depicts that how in times of war man acts inhumanly to his own race. War causes death and destruction, and this is highlighted through the condition of the old man who can be seen as the symbol of civilian victims of war. The old man gives meaning to his life by taking care of his animals, but the war takes away everything from him.

Answer 2

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...
