Introduction One of the first things entering the mind of a reader (on an obvious level) in Hemingway's short story is that the image of a white elephant the woman sees in the line of hills in the distance has created a classic man-woman conundrum. She sees it her way and he sees it his. The beer and the anis del Toro – and the expectant train – are just pieces on the chessboard, merely part of the setting that perhaps will play a role in this very short story. Thesis: Like his other short stories, this brilliant piece of fiction by Hemingway is very tightly written but it packs symbolism, irony and characterization into a short amount of space. In this story, the ultimate meaning is that the man does not wish to take responsibility for the woman's pregnancy and on the other hand she has superior imagination, vision, understanding, and knowledge of the natural world and of humanity. The white elephant to her is a rare and beautiful thing but to him the white elephant is something of less value he would rather avoid.

Moreover, the service quality depends on the interaction between service provider and consumer. The SERVQUAL model was developed to overcome these limitations. The research articles discussed in the following sections were all conducted to apply the model in the restaurant sector to evaluate the service quality of various kinds of restaurants.

This paper is a comparison of the French author Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont's fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast" with the French director Jean Cocteau's rendition of the story entitled La Belle et la Bête (1946).
