Thestyleofthestory
Inthisshortstory,wecanseeaveryHemingway’swritingstyle、
Firstly,youcanhardlyfindanyplicatedwords,phrasesorsentences、Hemingwayuseseasyandsimplewordasmanyaspossible、Hetriestocutoutanyunnecessarywords、Thewholestoryiseasytoreadbutnottounderstand、
e、g、Itwaslateandeveryonehasleftthecafé
exceptanoldmanwhosatintheshadowtheleavesofthetreemadeagainsttheelectriclight、[firstparagraph]
Secondly,thestoryconsistsofalotofdialogues、Andthesedialoguesarecolloquialandloose、
e、g、“Hewasindespair、”
“Whatabout?
”
“Nothing、”[page155]
Thirdly,thedialogueisdeviatedfromordinaryconversationorder、
e、g、“Hemustbeeightyyearsold、”
“AnywayIshouldsayhewaseighty、”
“Iwishhewouldgohome、Inevergettobedbeforethreeo’clock、Whatkindofhouristhattogotobed?
”(Thesethreedialoguesactuallyaresaidbytheyoungwaiter、)
Whatrepetitionofwordsorphrasesseemparticularlyeffective?
Theword“café
”appearsabout9times、Theword“nothing”appealsabout8timesandthe“Nada”appealsabout23times、“Light”appeals5times、“Cleanandpleasant”appeals3times、And“lighted(includingwelllighted)”appealsabouttwice、
Ithinkthesewords’andphrases’repetitionsareveryeffective、Theyhaveadeepsymbolisminthestory、Forexample:
Café

inthestory,HemingwayusetheSpanishwordNada,thisisnotonlytoshowtheauthorwasgoodatSpanish,butalsotodrawreadersattention、Andmakesreaderthinkaboutthisword、
WhydoyouthinkHemingwayfavorsasimplevocabulary?
IthinkthatHemingwayusesasimplevocabularybecausethewordisnotthemostimportantthingtoshowforhim、Themostimportantthinginhismindistoconveyideasabouttheworld、Andhedoesn’twantreadersspendalotoftimetoreadthestory,hewantsthereadersspendmoretimetothinkaboutwhatistheprofoundthingthestorywantstotell,andhewantsreaderstounderstandthestoryexactlybutnotjustpayattentiontotheplot、Andtheextremeshortnessmakesthepointofthestorymorepowerful、

Thepointofviewofthestoryisthethirdpersonnarrator、
Hemingwayusesthispointofviewinordertomakeusseewhat’shappeningbothinsideandoutsideofthecharacters’minds、Wegethintsofwhat’shappeningwiththeyoungerwaiterandtheoldman、Andwecangetacloselookattheinsideoftheoldwaiter’smind,wherethetruemeaningofthestoryisrevealed、
5Thesymbolismofinsomnia
Thiswordjustappealsattheendofthestory、Whenyouareinsomniac,youcannotsleepinthenight、Andyouwilltouchtheworldmorecloselyandfeellonelier、Inthestory,insomniaisnotonlyakindofdisease,butthefeelingofloneliness,thedarknessoflifeandthesegregationfromtheworld、Itisaboutfear,nothingandloss、
6Themainideaofthestory
Thestorytalksaboutloneliness,whichHemingwayconsiderstobetheprincipaltragedyofmodernlife、Nothingisalsoanimportantthemeofthestory、Fortheoldman,nadameanshopelessness,aimlessnessandmeaninglessnessoflife、Sohechoosessuicide、Fortheoldwaiter,heunderstandsthefeelingoftheoldmanandhassympathytohim、Hecanalsofeelnothinginhislife、Asfortheyoungwaiter,hehasyouth,confidenceandajob、Hedoesn’trealizeheisalsoinnothing、Heisunawareofwhathehas、Hislifeisanotherkindofmeaninglessness、
