The Snow Child Blog by Brock Bowers

The Snow Child was a very unique story. I picture the main character, the Count, as a very important man who has been very successful in life. As he sees things that he likes, such as the pale whiteness of snow, he begins to desire more of it. His desire for a girl as white as snow tells me that he is very desirous and is most likely used to getting what he wants. When he openly proclaims his unfaithful desires in front of his wife, she becomes envious. She does anything she can to destroy his desires and he goes as far as something equivalent to “raping a dead woman” that represented all of his sinful desires. These actions and events lead me to believe that it is a story about sin and jealousy. Because of the graphic nature of the story, I pictured dark scenery in an unpleasant place.
