The following paper
discusses Ernest Hemingway use of the word 'nothing' in his story "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place." The
writer examines how he uses the word "nothing" brilliantly, twisting it to mean from "there is no god" to "there are no wrongs," and, finally, to "there is no point." The
writer discusses the way in which Hemingway argues that once we die, there is nothing left, no afterlife or rebirth, simply nothing.
