Reason that Hippolytus give up an easy life in preference to a rustic life in the lap of Nature

What is a Code Hero? Would you call Santiago a Hemingway Code Hero?

Code Hero

Hemingway character or code hero himself would never speak of a code. He is a man of action rather than a man of theory. We call him the code hero because he represent a code according to which the hero, by  observing it, would  be able to live properly in the world of violence, disorder, and misery to which he has been introduced and which he inhabits. The code hero thus offers certain principles of honor, courage and endurance which in a life of tension and pain make a man a man and enable him to conduct himself well in the losing battle-that is life.
