The Snow Child Key Quotations
- “scarlet heels and spurs” - (lust and control, blood and sexuality)
- “the child of his desire” - (men desire what they cannot have in unrealistic fantasies and use
-
-
their power to try and make something fit which doesn’t last)
“the Countess had only one thought: how shall I be rid of her?” - (fear of older women being
replaced by the ‘younger model’ when men get bored of them - threatened by changing times
where independent women are taking power away from men and so the patriarchy-involved
wives too)
“the ice of a frozen pond” - (harsh and hostile environment - reflective of the Countess’ feelings
towards the child)
“bleeds; screams; falls” - (pattern of three which is reflective of how fast paced the Count’s child
lasted which represents his unrealistic desires before going back to the Countess)
“thrust his virile member into the dead girl” - (incest, necrophilia - breaks taboo and betrays
paternal role as the girl is his “child” - short and sharp provides shock)
“reined in her stamping mare” - (nature protests the Count’s actions, the Countess is used to
this behaviour?)
“he was soon finished” - (Carter makes a satirical comment at the Count, criticising men on
their sexual endurance to strip the Count of his manhood, criticising patriarchal society?)
“the Count … bowed and handed it to his wife” - (men make women feel like they are
important and valuable when in reality they see them as easily replaced, women are naïve to
this - new independent woman sees past patriarchy and is willing to contest it)
