The character 'boy' is used alongside 'the old Man' in the novel to demonstrate.
In The Old Man and the Sea, the character of the boy is a contrast to the old man (Santiago) and symbolizes both the old man's past vitality and the reality of his current situation. The relationship between Santiago and the boy illustrates the failing productivity that accompanies old age because Santiago is no longer able to provide for himself or catch fish as he once did.
