"Cat in the Rain" Question on Atmosphere

Hemingway creates a strong atmosphere in the story. Give an example of one way he creates atmosphere and suggest one reason why he has created it for “Cat in the Rain.”

One example of creating atmosphere is the weather description. The rainy weather creates a sad and sullen atmosphere, and Hemingway uses the word “empty” to strengthen it. This atmosphere is a foreshadowing of the American girl’s feeling, which is dreary and lonely, in the relation between her and her husband.
