Every work of a writer is influenced by the writer’s experience in life. Writer’s biography is important to know how deep the writer will go in his/her work. Biographical criticism is such practice that views any writer’s work through his eyes. It makes it simpler to examine and expand the literary work.The story “A Clean Well Lighted Place” by Earnest Hemingway can be explained and understood clearly with the act of biographical criticism. The story’s theme can be easily known if we have an idea of the writer’s biography and point of view. Earnest Hemingway had a very wealthy life. his life was successful and did not worry bout money one bit. He also lived his life as a celebrity and often posing as a marlin fisherman, or a lion hunter. He also had four wives which tells you that he never lacked love. his life was perfect except his mental distress. Actually, he just enjoyed being a happy person but was mentally distressed in. Even if he had earned his name and fame, he was unable to gather the mental satisfaction in life which brought him to suicide. He shot himself.

  1. You gave great points on the author but i feel you left out the comparison between the story and the author itself. Good points though

  2. I agree with Mia, aka Chasetherabbit. Your conclusion had quite the impact though--I liked that. Hemingway would have been proud of the laconic style.
