This is me reading the book over again and trying to find some references and perhaps researching them further.

Now, we all know the name Santiago means Saint James.
I looked up more on Saint James, and interestingly enough, he too was also a fisherman. He was to help Jesus spread word of the Lord's Great Kingdom.
In a sense, that made him a fisher of men. (That's actually what they call him in the bible.)
James was aloud to see what other apostles could not see, which was when God had told Jesus Christ that he was his son.

In the end, he was killed as a martyr and killed by sword.

We were talking today how the Fisherman was sacrificing himself for the fish, right?
And how Ernest Hemingway was sacrificing himself almost for his work?

It's sort of weird that James also ended up dying for the thing he was passionate about, which was his religion.

Sorry if this is poorly written. I'm writing this quick and on the top of my head.
