A Clean, Well-Lighted Place
A Clean, Well-Lighted Placeby Ernest Hemingway 📕I got a high grade on my American literary history assignment,so here’s a short take on Hemingway’s“A Clean, Well-Lighted Place.”The story is set in a café late at night.There are only three characters—an old man and two waiters.It’s very short, yet it quietly exploresloneliness, the meaning of life, and “Nada” (nothingness).A “clean, well-lighted place” feels likea small light in a world where meaning isn’t always clear—a place where people try to hold on to dignity and a sense of calm.“It is for people who need a light for the night.”Hemingway doesn’t give us answers.He simply makes us keep asking the question.How would you interpret this story? ◡̈♥︎✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼미국 문학사 과제에서 좋은 평가를 받아서,Hemingway의 단편“A Clean, Well-Lighted Place”를조금만 소개해요.이야기의 배경은 늦은 밤의 카페.등장인물은 노인 한 명과 웨이터 두 명,딱 세 사람뿐이에요.아주 짧은 이야기지만,고독, 삶의 의미, ‘나다(Nada)’ 같은깊은 주제들이 조용히 담겨 있습니다.“A clean, well-lighted place” 는의미가 잘 보이지 않는 세상 속에서사람이 존엄과 안정을 지키기 위한 작은 빛처럼 느껴졌어요.“It is for people who need a light for the night.”Hemingway는 답을 주기보다는,우리가 계속 질문하게 만듭니다.여러분이라면 이 작품을 어떻게 해석하시겠어요? ◡̈♥︎✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼アメリカ文学史の課題で高評価をもらえたので、Hemingway の短編“A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” を少しだけ紹介します。舞台は深夜のカフェ。an old man and two waiters― 登場人物はたった3人。短い物語だけど、loneliness / meaning of life / “Nada” など深いテーマが静かに描かれています。“A clean, well-lighted place” は、意味の見えない世界の中で人が dignity と安心を保つための小さな光。“It is for people who need a light for the night.”Hemingway doesn’t give answers,he makes us keep asking the question.あなたなら、どう解釈しますか？ ◡̈♥︎
