Ann Beattie's "Snow" -- Symbolism

Abstract: 3 pages in length. On the surface, Ann Beattie's Snow appears innocent enough in its content, but as the reader becomes more and more involved in the symbolic underpinnings that embody the literary work, it is quite clear how there is a distinctive flavor of separate interpretations between the narrator and her lover. The white blanketing snow of which she speaks so fondly represents the blanket of love she felt that winter, while he only looks upon it as a mark of Mother Nature's handiwork, finding little else in it to be acknowledged. No bibliography.
