Ernest Hemingway uses an unnamed omniscient third-person narrator in this short story. The author does not include anything to suggest that any one person’s specific perspective is provided. Instead, Hemingway uses a neutral tone and avoids emotional language to make the fictional story seem like fact. Omniscience is indicated by the narrator’s access to information about many current and past aspects of the Luarca hotel and the lives of its guests. One example of this is the simultaneous presentation of the events in the dining room, where Paco is on duty, and in the cowardly matador’s room, where Paco’s sister is fending off his advances. Another example is the narration of events in the dining room, where the narrator reports the conversations of the wait staff and the priests, a situation in which any one individual would not have had that full access.
