A commentary on E.Hemingway's A Cat in the Rain The whole story can
probably be recapped in its attempt at depicting the barrenness,
sterility, incomprehensibility, and misunderstanding that rule the
modern world and life which have immensely been affected by modern
technology and the resultant automated, robotic life.
Quite ironically, a world which enjoys incomparable wealth of technological communications, the modern man is unable to establish emotional contact with the people around him; this can even engulf a married life, traditional symbol of unity and mutual understanding.
The wandering couple, both physically and psychologically, have their own pursuits in feeling from the mere thought of a child; the man seeks refuge among his books and the woman daydreams and thinks of saving or having a cat.
He does not have an immediate answer for this predicament and so resorts to his book starting to read, a solace to his incomprehension of this unsolvable life puzzle.
She avoids the thought of the cat by siting "in front of the mirror of the dressing- table looking at herself...." "Oh shut up and get something to read," comes from George who finds reading a much better solution in forgetting one's sorrows and pains and not daydreaming, another manifestation of a life lacking communication and understanding.
Desperate and furious, she insists on having a cat, "Anyway, I want a cat,...I want a cat.

"Contrary to impotent George, there is the virile person of the manager of the hotel, "with his odd, heavy face and big hands."
