A Clean and Well-Lighted Place A Clean and Well-Lighted Place is a story about a lonely‚ but dignified older gentleman who‚ basically‚ has insomnia and can’t sleep.

One needs to keep the stables clean in order to ensure the health of the horses. Having a clean area for an animal is of utmost importance. If the farmers never cleaned up the horses’ feces‚ imagine how the horses would behave and react. They would all be dirty‚ smelly‚ and overall‚ they will be in bad shape for

story‚ "A Clean Well-lighted Place"‚ takes place at a cafe very late at night. Two waiters are watching their last‚ lingering customer‚ an old man‚ who is by now very drunk. The younger waiter’s impatience and the older waiter’s understanding toward the old man carry out the theme of the story: "It [life] was all a nothing and a man was a nothing too."(114) Man must consequently find something to distract himself from his horrible truth.

Ernest Hemmingway: A Clean Well-Lighted Place The theme that Ernest Hemmingway captures in a clean well- lighted place that is prominent to me is despair. There is only one customer inside the café which is an old man‚ deaf‚ drunk but peaceful. In some ways the old man and the older waiter are alike.
