-Chapter I: Introduction

American novelist and short-story writer Ernest Hemingway, whose full name is Ernest Miller Hemingway He was born on July 21, 1899, in Cicero, Illinois, and passed away on July 2, 1961, in Ketchum, Idaho In 1954, he received the Nobel Prize in

Literature for his creative and innovative writings Ernest Hemingway wrote a short story titled A Clean and Well-Lighted Place, which was originally published in Scribner's Magazine in March 1933 Later that year, it was included in the collection Winner Take  Nothing This short story is an exploration of the meaning of life The goal of the essay is

to analyze the setting of the narrative The story is about an old man who sits in a well-lighted cafe every night drinking brandy to drown his terrible grief, two waiters start talking to one another While the older waiter is patient, and sympathy, and

understanding of the loneliness of the old man, in contrast, the younger one is haughty with the customer and he just wants to go home early with his wife The older waiter  starts to have his existential crisis when the café shuts for the evening and the customer is sent home He finally finds a sense of meaning and purpose in his existence while

navigating the long, dark hours of the night in a world that appears to be "full of 

nothing." Additionally, the paper will aim to have a deep understanding of the different stages of life from the young waiter to the old waiter and lastly the old man to see the contrast between the two generations

Chapter II: Content

2.1 The appearance of the man sitting alone, drinking late at night in a café.

First, the appearance of the man sitting alone, drinking late at night in a café, clearly demonstrates his loneliness It was very late, and everyone had left the cafe except

an old man, who sat in the shadow of the leaves of the tree made against the electric light

old man who is a regular visitor is a clean man (Benert, 1974) The cafe is a "clean, well-lighted place," a haven from the night's darkness outside Darkness represents man's loneliness, sadness, death, and nothingness The light represents comfort, tranquility,  pleasantness, and being in the company of people

On the other hand, the term "a clean, well-lighted place" is indicative of a man's aspiration for peace, safety, and comfort Moreover, the bar, which is another setting in this short story, is the opposite of this There are rumors that this bar has bright lights throughout But unlike the cafe, the bar is not a cozy place "He disliked bars and bodegas

"A clean, well-lighted cafe was a very different thing" (5) While there is light and

darkness, there is also "shadow," which is caused by light but, unlike light, only provides short relief from the pains of darkness, which the elderly man is attempting to avoid by sitting in the shadow cast by the leaves against the light In conclusion, older individuals may suffer from loneliness, a lack of meaning in life, and depression, just like the elderly man who seeks a bright place to feel optimism about the future

2.2 The late-night talk in the café between the old waiter and the new waiter 

Second, the late-night talk in the café between the old waiter and the new waiter  reveals the old waiter's sympathy for the lonely old man The waiters got into a small disagreement after the old man left because the older waiter wanted to keep the café open longer while the younger waiter wanted to close it, and this continued until they finally closed it I am of those who like to stay late at the café," the older waiter said "With all those who do not want to go to bed With all those who need a light for the night." (l16) Another piece of evidence is, "It is not only a question of youth and confidence although those things are very beautiful Each night I am reluctant to close up because there may

 be someone who needs the cafe." (l25) In contrast to the old waiter, the young man just wants to go home with his wife and is unable to understand the old man, demonstrating the selfishness and materialism of the young generation The author might develop the lessons for each character by the way they act using only a few simple details The way

According to Maliha “Hemingway is the founder of the new writing style called the Iceberg Theory which is also known as the theory of omission” Hemingway thought his style of writing was often suggestive and not that direct, leading to the reader using his or  her imagination in order not to lose the subtle parts of Hemingway's intentions (Tyler 22) About Hemingway's theory a linguist named Leech stated that "The important information in Hemingway's text lies in the implied, but unstated parts He wanted the reader to feel something beyond their understanding" (Leech & Short 183)

2.3 The conversation in the old waiter's soul 

Finally, the conversation in the old waiter's soul knows that life is meaningless and that we all need a bright and pleasant place to sit to avoid thinking about the dark devil of  death The old man and the old waiter symbolize loneliness, and they always seek out a well-lit place to find a light of hope in their lives It was only that light was all it needed and a certain cleanness and order (l12) The old man also had a conversation with himself 

to discover what life was like, and when he got home, he had insomnia, which is a terrible reality of the life of the elderly Turning off the electric light he continued the conversation with himself, It was the light of course but it is necessary that the place be clean and pleasant (l6)

A clean, well-lit atmosphere is a short narrative that teaches us the importance of  having a meaningful existence for each individual, such as when the story begins in a clean, well-lit café and concludes with a statement about insomnia, which symbolizes the terrible reality of life for the elderly Moreover, the word nada also repeat many times by the old waiter It is apparent, as Carlos Baker has indicated (Hemingway, p 124), that the older waiter uses the word nada in a special sense For him the term represents, not a mere negativity, the absence of something, but a real constituent of the universe the essence of life and of each life: "It was all a nothing and a man was nothing too.""

inspiration to the people Furthermore, experts believe that the story represents nothingness, loneliness, and the significance of women in a man's existence But I believe the story is actually about modern American society and its impact on people, particularly the youth The young generation's feelings and morality are affected by social change, which is why they are unable to understand the emotions of others People become so materialistic that they assume that only money can provide happiness, which is false  because money is not everything

Chapter 3: Conclusion

"A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" is one of the best stories of Hemingway’s talent and also of his Iceberg Theory, in which he represents what it means to be alive in different stages of life, from the young to the middle-aged to the old The story is started

in a clean, well-lit café and ends with Hemingway's talent and also his Iceberg Theory, in which he represents what it means to be alive in different stages of life, from the young to the middle-aged to the old The story is started in a clean, well-lit café and ends with insomnia, which represents something that usually happens in elders' daily lives According to scholars, the story is a representation of nothingness and the meaning of life Therefore, I believe that the story is also about the different points of view from young to middle-aged to old At every stage, we also have different goals to accomplish, like the young waiter who has youth, a wife, a job, and is full of confidence But in contrast, the old waiter also has a job, but he feels nothing in life, just like the old man who drinks  brandy to forget the sadness in the present
