Hemingway- A clean, well lighted place

Ernest Hemingway the author of the short story A clean, well lighted place, really likes to use light and dark as symbols in most of his writing. I noticed that Hemingway uses dark and light to describe the set of the cafe and what the characters were like. First he states that the cafe is well lit and it clean, that was resembling that the cafe was safe and peaceful. he also says the old man character sits in the only shadowed place in the whole cafe, that shows that he is quiet and want to be left alone.

After reading then watching the movie for A clean, well lighted place  I thought the music from the movie was setting the tone right way, letting you know that it was sad and depressing, and the music played once again after he had to leave.I also thought that the characters acted very similar in both the book and the movie, which means the actors did a good job bringing the short story to life. finally there was one problem, which was that I thought they should have had the man sitting outside like in the Hemingway story
