Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, Note: 1,7, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg (Anglistisches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Proseminar Hemingway, 9 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ernest Hemingways Kurzgeschichte "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place", die zu den von der Literaturkritik meistbeachteten Werken Hemingways gehört, wurde im März 1933 erstmals im Scribner's Magazine veröffentlicht. Sie erschien im Herbst 1933 als Teil der Kurzgeschichtensammlung Winner take Nothing. Über die Kurzgeschichte, die wohl zu Hemingways gelungensten Werken gezählt werden kann, sagte Hemingway selbst einmal: "'Another time I was leaving out good was in 'A Clean, Well-Lighted Place.' There I really had luck. I left out everything.'" Dies mag der Grund sein, warum diese Kurzgeschichte, die von einem jungen und einem alten Kellner handelt, die darauf warten, dass ein alter Mann das Café verläßt, bei genauerem Hinsehen unerwartete Tiefen aufweißt. Gegenstand dieser Arbeit ist die Untersuchung der in der Kurzgeschichte auftretenden Hauptcharaktere und deren unterschiedliche Lebenshaltung. Des Weiteren wird die hiermit verbundene nada-Thematik der Kurzgeschichte und der individuelle Umgang der Figuren mit dem nada beleuchtet.

Page 9 - No," the waiter who was in a hurry said; rising from pulling down the metal shutters. "I have confidence. I am all confidence." "You have youth, confidence, and a job," the older waiter said. "You have everything." "And what do you lack?" "Everything but work.
Page 3 - A Clean, Well-Lighted Place." There I really had luck. I left out everything. That is about as far as you can go, so I stood on that one and haven't drawn to that since.
