The Old Man considers his place in nature and the ways in which he must fit in.  He cannot kill the sun; no one can.  He finds the fish as noble as the sun, yet the Old Man will kill the fish if possible, but he will not kill the sun.  Still, the Old Man wishes his chore were somewhat different since there is nothing noble about killing as great a fish as this one is.
