“A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” In Ernest Hemingway’s “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place,” there is a totally nihilistic view of life. The three characters in the story show three different stages in life until one reaches a view of complete nothingness. The old, lonely deaf man learns with age that life is nothing and he escapes from it by drinking his brandy. The old waiter is the same as the deaf old man. He is at a point in his life where he recognizes life’s pointlessness. The young waiter is a confident man who is still holding on to the few parts in his life that he finds meaningless only to find as he goes, the more he tries, the less he cares.
