The King of Depression

Hemmingway, possibly the king of all depressing authors.

Today, writing like this is frowned upon by most of society,  things like alcohol, drugs, guns, etc. Were not taken as heavily as they are today. It makes sense that this story would be a bit confusing for today’s generation. Due to lack of real world experience in today’s books. Back in the day things were not sugar coated like they are today. Books written by Hemingway and Fitzgerald were a hit with people. Over the years things change, it seems like today the thriving books are the ones that are about apocalypses and the future. Back in the 20’s things like Winter Dreams, were popular due to the nature of what  was popular back then.

There are still books that are dark, scary, and joyless today. Hemmingway was able to make a book dark and dreary even in a nice, well lighted tavern. Today if you wanted to make a book like this, you would have to set the scene to be dark and creepy. What adds to the creepiness is that Hemmingway, like the Old man. Was gloomy and eventually killed himself. Authors today don’t really put their problems into a character of a book. Hemmingway real put his feelings into this old man. The waiters symbolize the way other people have talked to him. He lets his emotion and what he thinks other people see him as, into the bars servers. One waiter really didn’t really like him, constantly talking about how much the old man drinks. The other waiter just asked questions, he didn’t want to say anything about the old man.

In conclusion, Hemmingway wasn’t the most cheerful of writers, but still managed to create some of the most rememberable of stories and readings, that still make people depressed today.
