Snow is one of the most important symbols in the short story “The Dead” written by James Joyce. Descriptions of snow are replete in the story, beginning with Gabriel scraping snow from his shoes and ending with him watching the snow fall outside the window. In the tie between these two descriptions, however, Gabriel becomes attuned to the symbolism of the snow. At the beginning, the snow is a force of nature. It is impedance, something which threatens to make walking along the streets of Dublin an annoyance and a difficult task. Gabriel thinks about snow only in terms of how it affects him on a practical level, so he must scrape the wet snow from his shoes so as to keep them in a good condition. Snow is symbolic in his life since it shows that he focuses only on himself and lacks empathy for others.
Keywords:
