Cat in the rain

“The Cat in the Rain” witten by Ernest Hemingway is a short story that takes place in an hotel in Italy where an American couple is spending its vacation. Hemingway in this story tries to show the readers the kind of relationship that the two partners have; it does that in a direct way, through the language of the husband, and in a symbolic way, through the story of the cat. The cat, which is …

…animal that is free to do and go anywhere he wants, he has no restriction and he has the chance to choose what he wants. The American woman wants to be free to choose, she says she wants a cat, she wants her hair to grow long, she wants to eat with her own silver, she wants candels and first of all she wants to have fun, just as a cat probably does. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
