A Clean, Well-Lighted Place

Through his cast entitled A Clean, Well-Lighted Place, Hemingway tries to demonstrate how great deal need different opinions regarding aging and experience, and he does this by dint of the eyes of the two waiters and an one clip(a) service piece.Today, a crowing percentage of pile assume things active separate individuals they do non know based except on how they look. Hemingway perk upms to h disusedish the hand of the reader as he expresses wherefore people should have an apply mind and make an attempt to look by the eyes of for each one person because thither is so frequently more to know than just by looking at a persons physical appearance.At the moolah of our lives when we are non yet fully assured of the things happening in our surroundings, e genuinelything seems to be beautiful and innocent. However, by the time we get grey-headeder, we realize that things are not as easy as they once seemed.Along with the joys and gladness we experience, there is ov erly pain, sadness, and privacy.This short story is about an doddery homosexual who inducts in a head off a few times a week. He preferred this particular club from the differents because it is clean and has a calm ambiance, which relaxes him. He drinks away until two oclock in the morning and is the last person to leave the touchstone.On the fount are two waiters who serve the rare worldly concern. adept is a young homosexual while the other is a middle-aged waiter. While serving the old man, these two waiters converse and argue about the old man and it is evident that they see the old man in different perspectives due to their age difference.In the arising of the story, an old, deaf man was descri cut and how he was enjoying the shut off and getting drunk almost every darktime. He feels comfortable in the bar because it is calm, clean, well-lighted, and quiet contradictory the other bars in the area.He stays here until the wee mos of the morning and it can be see n that he does not fit well into the society at the time because he is well over his time already.It was mentioned that last week, he tried to commit self-destruction (Kennedy & Gioia 148). This gives the reader the impression that the man was in desperation even though he is well-endowed in terms of financial resources.The young waiter was in a rush to close the bar an hour earlier because there was only one customer, the old man, who was present at that time. The young waiter in any case wanted to go home early because his wife was waiting for him at home.It is shown that he disrespects the old man by throwing the old man out of the bar insisting that they were already closing. The younger waiter seems to be flat and static.He is somewhat intolerant and self-centered for he has his own social life and does not cypher on the bar to seek refuge. He does not understand what the old man was feeling and why he spends his time in the bar potable the night away.The fact that he is y oung and has very limited experience in life contributes to this attitude. He has no idea that the old man has spend his life and believes that he has no use to anyone because of his age, which is why he tried to commit suicide.He is lonely and devastation is very hard to cure, especi in ally when people approximately you do not understand what you are departure through, just interchangeable the old man in the story.The young waiter also sees the loneliness and despair of the old man as largely a fault of his own because the old man chooses to see the darkness instead of the light.The young man feels that the old man dwells in his misery too much and that there are better things to do than sit inside a bar and drink. He shout at the old man saying you should have killed yourself last week (Kennedy & Gioia 148). He treats the old man analogous an obstacle as if the old man was slowing down the young mans life.The erstwhile(a) waiter, on the other hand, shows a different attit ude towards the situation, and this top executive be because of his age. He is more sensitive to the old man because he knows what it is like to be old and lonely. This waiter says I am one of those who like to stay late at the cafe with all those who do not want to go to bed (Kennedy & Gioia 150).He knows what it is like to go home at night without anything or anyone to expect and how it is better to spend the night in a bar instead of experiencing the loneliness that the night can bring. He knows that the bar is a very nice and clean place for people at night, especially the older ones. He says each night, I am reluctant to close up because there may be someone who necessarily the cafe (Kennedy & Gioia 150).He is not only referring to the old man but to himself as well. Personally, I think that this is why he most likely works at the bar at night himself. Just like the old man, he does not want to be alone at night. He is becoming older as time goes on and he also has an insomni a, which makes it hard for him to sleep at night.
