A Clean, Well-Lighted Place After a quick reading of Ernest Hemingway’s “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place”, there seems to be three distinct and different characters. The first is the old, unconfident waiter who is deprived, cynical, and views life as hopeless. He has no trust in religion and believes the entire world is “nothing”. This character is concerned about keeping the café open late into the night just in case lonely people need a place come to, therefore sympathizing with the old man. The second character is the young waiter who is a man of simple character, naïve, and unthinking. He presents a rude, disrespectful, and impatient demeanor, and considers “old men nasty things”. This character has no compassion for the old man and supposedly has a “life”.
