Author's Note: My class had to read a short story called A Clean,Well-lighted Place By: Hemingway. After we were done reading the short story we had to answer one of the questions at the bottom of the page. This was my question.
How does Hemingway use light and dark as symbols? How do the shadows fit in?
I think that Hemingway use light and dark symbols because the old
man at the bar was very lonely and
depressed and it says he lives with his niece and the old man tried to commit
suicide but when Hemingway says he sits in the shadow in the cafe he probably is
a very grumpy man. I think that Hemingway was trying to say that light symbols happy
and dark symbols a sad.
